It is so crazy to me that it’s almost the holidays again.
Wasn’t it just Christmas, like, yesterday?? What the heck. Where did that year
go? Slow down, time! You old dog. (But seriously. My babies are growing way too fast.)
Anyways, I figured I’d better get some current family photos
for this year’s Christmas cards before the snow hit the ground, so I called up
my super talented friend Jenny and we got crackin’!
But here’s the thing about our photoshoot: It was kind of a
disaster. As in, there was flailing and wailing and the gnashing of teeth
(BOSTON), boogers and sickness (HOLLAND), crazy unnatural face contortions
(CAMDEN)…. and some not so nice weather. All I can say is, poor Jenny. I felt
so bad that she had to put up with our insane bunch and try to make us look
good!! Luckily she is a magician, and somehow got a bunch of cute photos…even
through the chaos.
Also, Jenny is a saint, and did a reshoot with us so we
could get some better photos of our family all together. (THANK YOU JENNY!!) I
am so glad we went for round two, because the family photos turned out so much
better. It’s amazing what warmer weather, happy kids, and a whole lot of candy
bribery will do. So I'm posting a lot of photos in this post, because well, we took a lot. And I think my kids are cute. And how could I narrow it down to just a few?? (I couldn't.) Mmkay pumpkin?
And so! Here they are! Family photos, 2015.

I'm so glad that Jenny captured some of just Jordan and I, too. I love him! It's fun to think about how much we've grown in five years of marriage.
It's the most cliche thing to say in the world, I know, but I really am the luckiest.
 |
| ^He makes me the happiest! Slash, Boston was screaming for me and I couldn't hold a straight face anymore! Haha.^ |
Family pictures are just so important to me. I want to make
sure I capture how we are RIGHT NOW, because pretty soon, my babies will be
all grown up. So I want to do all I can to stash these memories away.
Thanks for capturing these pictures, Jenny. We love them!
