family pictures

I *LOVE* family pictures. I love capturing the love families have for each other. I love having pictures all together to document the passage of time. I love pictures with silly faces, happy faces, even toddlers who are fussy or frustrated. That being said - I seriously think I would have professional family pictures taken every month if I could afford it (and if Cory and the boys would humor me that often!). We had our family's pictures taken fairly recently (see this post) but when we were all together for Thanksgiving with the Ellis family we tried doing a large family picture. I haven't seen the results of that (and with the way the kiddos were all acting - I'm anxious to see it) - but here are some pictures of our family.

The photographer's name is Antonio Neyra and is a good friend of my sister-in-law Ashley's. He spent HOURS with all of the families and took some great pictures. Thanks Antonio!

(And when I got us all dressed in our brown again - the same as we used for our last pictures - I didn't realize that they were all such different shades of brown....I'm hoping to convert these to black and white, and hope that won't show up as much....)
