Family pics 2008

Okay so I was looking at our original family picture outfits (black and gray) and I hated them. First of all, Clayton's shirt was a brown-gray and didn't really fit in with the theme at all and I just didn't like the way all the shirts looked together! I like them individually, but all together the effect was not great. So here is what I'm thinking now...
White.
I have Justin's shirt and I LOVE it! The boys both had these shirts already and I like them, but they are a little off-white and I'm not sure it looks good. What do you think about the color of the boys shirts when put up against the white?

The first shirt of mine is a little turtleneck. I really like it and it fits really well. Again, let me know what you think of this look (is it cohesive)?
My second shirt choice is the short sleeved cardigan with a black shirt underneath. The stripes in the boys' shirts are navy blue, but they're thin enough that I don't think you can really tell that we don't match. So think about this look and let me know.
The third choice for me is the long sleeved cardigan with the black shirt. This cardigan is more off-white so it matches the boys a little better but I don't know what I think about that either. I do like that it has the long sleeves and that flows better with what my guys are wearing but you tell me.
So, not only do you need to decide what looks best as part of the group, you need to decide what looks best on me. This is choice #1 - the turtleneck. (Yes, I look pretty ragged in all these pics - I'm okay with that.)
This is choice #2 - short sleeved white cardigan with a black shirt.
Choice #3 - long sleeved off-white cardigan with black shirt.
After I had tried on all these options, I thought about maybe putting a lighter colored shirt on under the cardigans because maybe that would make me fit in better with the guys (because they are wearing all white and I have black on, but maybe the lighter color would be better). So Choice #4 - short sleeved white cardigan with blue shirt.
Choice #5 - long sleeved off white cardigan with blue shirt. I didn't get pictures of these last two looks with the guys' shirts so use your imagination. Also, I recently got my hair done and it's darker - what do you think?
Or I could forget it all and go like this...
So here's what I need to know...
1. Do the boys off white shirts look weird against the white?
2. Which shirt of mine goes the best with the group?
3. Which shirt looks best on me (because, let's face it, even if it doesn't go best with the group - that'll be the one I wear)?
4. What do you think of the darker hair?
