So...

I guess I haven't been doing very well at blogging lately.

Or...sending out Christmas cards.

SO let's get started with the catch-up posts!

First off, our family photo shoot we had over Thanksgiving by our talented personal photographer Shirlene.

I have to insert here that yes, we did have Christmas cards made with a couple of these photos and no, I did not get around to sending them out. Terrible, I know. I might still send some out. We will see. But if not here's what should have been sent to your mailbox...if I only had a brain :]

A few notes about the shoot:

My mom made my dress, which I wanted to resemble this dress from Shabby Apple. Thanks mom! You did a fabulous job. And we didn't kill each other in the process!
The pictures were taken out at my Grandpa Edwards'. The truck is Seth's dream restoration project and a major factor in getting him to take family pictures at all. And the cabin...oh just something Gramps is building with his bare hands.
I am very pregnant in these pictures. I don't think that fact came across very well.
It was -100 degress out I'm pretty sure. It's a miracle we got even one decent picture with B. She was not thrilled to be outside and told to be still and act happy.
I'm glad we did it though. As a family we are pretty horrible at taking pictures together and I desperately wanted a couple of nice family photos. Mission accomplished.
