Family Pictures!

 So this is the first time in 5 years we have taken a family picture! Tati was just a baby when we did one and this one was done in the last minute also!
 Brant came home from work Thurs and said.."wanna do family pictures today.. I said well, ok Tati has dance at 4, so we'll have to go after that."
 4 is when we should have been shooting, but whatever, we just got ready and after Tati's dance we rushed her home to get ready..then we hadn't even decided where to take the pictures.. I would have liked to go to Papago Park, but then again it would be hard since I have to take the pictures and there wouldn't be many places to set up and push the button and run to get IN the picture.. I said I had to take the pictures, but I meant I am just going to because we're too cheap to pay anyone else to do them.
 so we got ready and got in the car and had to decide quickly because it was already 4:30 and we were running out of daylight! so we chose Freestone Park.. it was closest and there are lots of good spots. Initially I wanted to take pictures of us on our bed, but Brant didn't.. so whatever. Also he chose for us to be in jeans and casual shirts..I chose the colors :) after the shoot.. I was dissapointed I didn't get any GOOD shots.. the kids were good, but I couldn't take as many shots as I normally do and nobody was behind the camera making sure that the kids were looking at the camera..so that didn't work out perfect.. but whatever I'm over it.
 here are some contenders, but didn't make the cut...

I call this one "Sasquatch sighting"

haha.. because her pose is like the Sasquatch pose!

 Brant liked this one, but the girls and Levi were looking somewhere else

Merry Christmas!

and here's the Christmas card we sent out to a few friends and family
