Family Pictures

We decided that we would go the cheap route this year and try to do our own photo shoot to get a nice picture for our Christmas card. We went out on a Sunday afternoon in November and tried to take turns with some friends taking pictures of each others families. They have a nice camera which they were kind enough to let us use. We headed out to Lake Las Vegas and tried to get a few good pictures. Our kids were being very uncooperative, which was frustrating, but we got a few good ones. 


This picture of Aliza sums up how our pictures went. Aliza was refusing to smile, Avery was being silly, and Abbie was getting mad at all of us for it not going smoothly. Micah and I just laughed because what else do you do.


 Hmmmmm. The leg in the air is a nice touch.





These last two were the best of them all. I'm saving my money for a photographer next year.

Hey- We miss you guys! we need to get together- Maybe spring? Maybe Vegas? We love it down there and have not been in a while? The Hales are up here in Layton and not sure where the Bass's are but I think you know- Do they have a blog? Did see a post on Facebook from her a week or so back. We also just took family picks and like yours- we should have had a photographer!?! Gentry's Dad filled in and did ok- the cold weather was our problem- Mia said her lips were freezing from smiling in the cold! Lets get together soon!

I like how you summed this up. . . I am just planning to do pictures in salt lake from now on where they are cheap. They did turn out cute though. I need you to plan outfits for us.
