We didn't pay for the pictures, but I've been hounding the woman down since before we went away, the week before Thanksgiving! She's been flaky since the spring when I first made contact with her... now that she has our pictures, I just want them and to be done with her! She's good, just horribly unprofessional...
As for DH's family, we have a one bedroom, so fitting 10 adults and 8 nieces/nephews... not including ourselves, we can't have it at our place. My Mom and I got something we'll have for dinner, if they don't wind up doing anything... just annoying that this time last year, we knew where we would be.
