Family pictures

A while back, we had some family pictures taken with our photographer, Vanessa. We used some of the pictures from our session for our Christmas card.

The first time we had Vanessa take pictures was in 2008 - when Jackson was just over a year old. I've noticed that it gets increasingly more difficult with more kids. I've pretty much just lowered my expectations for the group shots. If we are all physically in the picture, then that's an accomplishment. A bonus is if no one is crying. I'm not sure it is actually possible to get one of our family were everyone is smiling and no one's eyes are closed.
Anyway, here are some of my favorites ...
We did get some really great shots of the boys. Here are some favorites.
