Welcome December!

Well, it is finally here! December! Christmas Time! We had a long week with Thanksgiving, working, birthdays, Black Friday shopping, and extended family pictures. We spent some very cold hours at the park with a photographer taking family pictures of all of Troy's family, kids, wives, husbands, and grandkids. Hopefully they will turn out.

The hardest part was trying to coordinate colors, and trying to keep our kids from bashing their faces in any more than they already were. (Macey had a scaped up nose and bruised cheek. Caleb had a bruised head and scraped nose.) Of course that didn't last long because Jewelia slid down the hill on her butt, and Caleb did a face splat into a rock less than 15 minutes into the shoot. Oh, well, more realistic I guess.

I took some random pictures while we were in between shots.





When we got home, I insisted that we take some more family pictures for our Christmas cards. Yeah, let's just torment the family the ENTIRE day!! Anyway, we got some cute pics of the kids below, and we actually got a couple good pictures of the whole family where EVERYONE was smiling! I think I do pretty well considering we always just use the timer on the camera and don't have a real person taking our picture. The picture at the top is our 2nd favorite, but we are sending out a better one with our Christmas cards. You'll have to wait and see.



Oh, and don't worry, Rachel, I might get to your 7 random things if I can think of anything good.
