Picture Perfect

"Picture Perfect" is the eleventh episode of The Loud House.

Plot
Lincoln and his sisters try to create a perfect family photo to give to their parents for their anniversary.

Synopsis
Lincoln has created a homemade coffee mug as an anniversary gift for his parents like every year, but his sisters believe it to be a lame gift, with Lola accidentally blurting out that Mom and Dad put his "mugs" in the attic. When he goes into the attic and finds this information to be true, a heartbroken Lincoln worries about what he can give to his parents now, but he finds Dad's old camera and gets the idea to take family portrait to give.

Lincoln gathers the girls in the backyard for the photo shoot, and they all hold a smile as Lincoln sets the automatic timer. However, they get bored after a few seconds and go about their usual antics as the picture gets taken, much to Lincoln's frustration. Feeling the photo isn't "perfect", Lincoln uses various methods to convince his sisters to take part in the photo. As he does, he alters their appearances, stifles their natural habits and puts matching sweaters on them.

As the timer is set, Lori asks Lincoln what was wrong with the other photo, and he nervously admits that he thought they acted too much like themselves. The girls are deeply offended by his thoughts of them, and they put on "perfect" smiles for the camera out of spite for him. The camera takes the picture, and the girls leave Lincoln, apparently in a flash. As Lincoln walks through the house looking at the new picture and observing his sisters' true personalities, he sees how happy they are and begins to feel guilty about the way how he viewed them.

When the time comes to give Mom and Dad their present, Lincoln ends up giving the old photo instead of the "perfect" one. They love it so much, that they decide to hang it above the mantle for all to see. Lincoln apologizes to his sisters, saying that their true selves are perfect enough for him, and they embrace in a group hug. And, as a final rub-in, Lincoln tells them they might as well put their gifts in the coffee mug box since their gifts were pale in comparison to his, which gets them all arguing with him...just the way he likes it.
