Family Pictures

My family grin (ok more like grit) and bear how often I want to take family pictures!

C'mon guys it's just a few for this year's Christmas Card!

This time we were at the Ford's for their son's birthday party on a Sunday afternoon.

I had already bought all the outfits for the pictures

but had no clue when we would actually have time to take the pics.

I had told Tess I was just gonna self timer a few and call it good.

She was like I'll just run over after the party and snap a few.

Perfect!

So I ran my sweaty tired kids back home,

changed their clothes/hair

and 45 mins later we were in the desert directly behind my back fence!

And yes I hadn't washed or really brushed my hair in 3 days! No joke.

But that's just the life of a busy mom with little kids.

All my time goes towards them.

Good thing I had a few leftover waves! That'll have to work! lol

Tess took a few family poses, with Eastlie completely not cooperating.

Then I took over and did the rest of the pictures.

Boom we were done in 30 mins! :)

And who would know this is Arizona desert.
We've had TONS of rain and everything was insanely green.
Usually it's brown dried up typical desert this time of year.
So I guess we lucked out with a grassy background! :)

So here's the 2018 Christmas Card

And the rest of the pics!

I somehow forgot how hard it was to take a picture of a brand new 2 year old!

Holy crap they don't cooperate or sit still at all!!

Eastlie is such a smiley kid...but not today!

This is the blank stare I got...if she would even look at the camera!

Then she would just run away!

So I just followed her around snapping tons of pictures hoping for a few good ones!

That's when I busted out the wagon to finally contain her!

And the real family poses...

And she's done and marching back home!!

Oh wait...AND she's taking her wagon home with her!!!

That's a wrap! :)
