With the daughter, it looks like it might a natural expression. A trick I use is to ask people to physically force their eyes open as wide as they can, and ask them to hold it... and hold it... and then tell them to relax and as SOON as you tell them to let go, take the shot. You may need to this several times, but you will usually get at least one "normal" eye expression out of this....Oddly, the oldest girl appears to be squinting in all three shots. This might be her natural expression, or she may be anticipating the flash, or maybe your modeling light is too bright. Mom is squinting in two of the shots as well. Watch for that, and figure out why, and make adjustments.
