Alec Baldwin's wife with 'epic fail' in bid to get perfect family Thanksgiving snap

Hilaria Baldwin posted a hilarious image to Instagram to show off her family's attempt at the perfect Thanksgiving photo.

Alec Baldwin 's wife, 38, took to the social media platform to wish her 986,000 followers a happy holiday as the US marked the special occasion. But, as most parents know, it's often hard to get kids to sit still for the camera.

Unfortunately for Hilaria, her seven kids didn't play ball on this occasion and she ended up with a comical attempt at a family photo.

Hilaria and Alec share kids Carmen, 9, Rafael, 7, Leonardo, 6, Romeo, 4, Eduardo, 2, Maria, 21 months, and Ilaria, 2 months, and regularly upload sweet family snaps. However, on this occasion none of the kids decided it would be a good time to look at the camera.

The podcast host could be seen trying to comfort one of her distressed brood, while even 64-year-old Alec was looking elsewhere.

Other family members thought it'd be the perfect time to snack on some bread, while three were clearly distracted by their surroundings. Only Carmen seemed ready to pose as she cradled the family's youngest member.

Deciding to share the image anyway, Hiliaria wrote: "Happy gratitude day from our epic fail family photo to what is probably yours. Our love and gratitude to all of you for being wonderful forces of light in our lives."

Her upload was met with an influx of support and well wishes, with one user replying: "It's not an epic fail. It is real life. It is natural. It is not fake nor posed. It's authentic. The best. Happy Gratitude Day to you, too."

It's not the first time the clan has uploaded a funny snap together and Hilaria recently told US Weekly she has learned to "embrace the chaos". She said in October: "We have a wild and super fun house. Always something going on."

Hilaria also refused to rule out the possibility of the couple having another child, but insisted it was a discussion for her to have with Alec, who also fathers 26-year-old daughter Ireland Baldwin, who he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

Elsewhere stateside, Maria Carey was mocked for her "terrible lip sync" performance at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. The pop songstress, 52, was criticised for giving a "low energy" performance at this year's parade in Manhattan.
