Photo Shoot

We tried... we tried three times... we tried hard to get some 'cute' pictures of the girls in their Christmas dresses for our own keepsake and for that picture perfect Christmas card.  HA!

Not happening...












My favorite.




 We did a Christmas card this year with pictures of the girls, but after looking at all the shots we got - we felt it too dishonest to send a card with anything that included looking at the camera or smiling or being sweet to each other - because none of that happened.  The reality of the picture taking time is more accurately displayed above.  Here are the three pictures used for the Christmas card with the message, "May your Christmas Season be filled with fun and excitement and lots of great family photos."  



There were very few diamonds in the rough. 



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Fall Foto Fun!

These are just some fun shots from our random happenings around here...





























We Love the Zoo

We had a great time visiting the zoo with our friends, the Howell family.  It was a chilly day so we had to bundle up - the animals seemed to enjoy the cool weather.  

Mavery felt it necessary to clean the noses of some of the critters.
Here is Emma and I going for a ride.
Picture taking op... say cheese!
Roooooaaaaaaarrrrrrrr!
Emma!  Look out.
 Cate and Emma's mommy and daddy took a lot better shots of our fun - take a look.
