Picture Perfect

by Amy on November 17, 2008

There’s not much to say here.  I’ll let the pictures do the talking.  I’m so very grateful that we live close to my parents and my siblings.  (Definitely a Finer Thing!)  I’m grateful that my kids are making memories with their grandparents and their cousins.  Seven babies in 5 1/2 years.  Fun, fun, fun!

And now, for the annual can-we-all-please-look-at-the-camera-at-the-same-time-(you too, grandpa!) and-smile-real-big-please-for-the-Christmas-card-please-hey-no-kissing-right-now-please-turn-around-the-camera’s-over-here-please Christmas card tackle with grandma and grandpa.

LOL

I used to be a portrait photographer, and seeing that group kind of gave me a chill — it reminded me why I thought taking group pictures was such a pain. ;)

Very cute!!

It takes us two days to drive to where our oldest daughter lives with her husband and two babies. That’s too far away! I’m glad you all live close by. Definitely a finer thing.

Aw- those pics are fabulous! Makes me a tad weepy since my family is half-way across the country. :( I just LOVE to see cousins together like that with their grandparents!
