A felfie of old friends

Last week the kids and I met up with dear friends, Gisela and Birgit.  When we arrived in Bougainville in 1984, Gisela and Bert were our neighbours, a little family then then five-year-old Birgit (Karl arrived soon after).  Twenty years ago, Gisela and Birgit were two of the thirteen guests at our wedding reception. We don't catch up often enough.
     So when I found out Birgit was visiting Gisela from Newman with her two gorgeous boys we had to catch up.  We plonked ourselves on the banks of the Dirran Creek on the farm and chatted while my kids and Birgit's spent hours floating between a plastic canoe and a blow-up biscuit.
     Birgit took a 'self-shot' of us.  Now if a selfie is a shot of oneself and a couplie is a shot of a couple (lovers or friends) and belfie is a shot of one's bum, what is a self-shot of three people?  A trelfie or a triflie?  And more specifically, four people?  A fourfie or a felfie?
