Family Pictures

Every year I say we are going to take some good family pictures, every year we seem to not. This time I was determined. I made the appointment with a good friend and then started stressing. Why do I stress over what to wear? It really is pathetic - what color scheme, not too matchy matchy, informal or formal, where to take them, how to mix patterns and colors, how to not spend much money - I hate it! The day arrived and it just so happened to be an extremely hot day - 105 to be exact - yeah just the temperature you want to be in outside trying to not look sweaty or miserable.


I have to say that I love the pictures of my kids - they are all so cute, I don't know how I couldn't. These are not my favorites of each kid, but they are the only ones I can get on here for some reason.



I wasn't overly excited about any of the family pictures for purely selfish reasons - I admit it I am totally vain o.k! I didn't like my hair, and was bugged at my outfit, but whatever - dumb I know! Anyways again I couldn't get my favorite picture on here so here is our Christmas card with it, maybe if you use a microscope you may be able to see it!


Once again the only family picture I can actually get on here. I am hoping that in a few years I will look back and love even the family pictures, and think oh I didn't look too bad, why was I complaining? I am so incredibly happy to have these pictures of my children - I adore them! Thankyou Alisha, you are the best! Next year I promise we will try again and I promise I will do my hair better and plan a better day weather wise!
