I really prefer to get our Christmas cards out the door before I share our family pictures on here. Ideally, it happens right at the end of the year, in December, when everyone already has the pictures. However, it didn’t happen this year, and sadly, the photos feel pretty old now.
That all being said, we are still the same people we were last fall when Cher took these pictures of us, and of ALL years, this was the year I was more determined than ever to reach out to as many people as I could who had put into our lives. This was the most important year to get cards out! So, they’re late, but they’re out! We mailed a bunch out, and dropped a bunch off around town. I’m still looking for a handful more addresses, but the bulk of it is done, so I can finally show you some of our pictures!
Actually, before the pictures pictures, I got these adorable, soft pictures of Laela and Wavy.
Yes, they are cozy. Sweats and neutrals. We went comfy on purpose. We earned some comfort! Hahaha!
Cher absolutely crushed our family photos this year. We had them done in maybe 10-15 minutes. It was fast and silly, and the kids cooperated beautifully! We hit just two spots at our lake. First was the big swing by the ark park…
And then back at our campsite, by our wood pile. Do you like our star? I asked Brady to make one because Christmas, hahaha!
You can even see the smoke from our fire in this one 🙂 Man these pictures bring me back!
Do you also see the the “C” on my hoodie is covered, so it proudly pronounces “I’m old” to the world? Yup. Couldn’t put these ones on the card, thats for sure!
We bribed the kids with cookies after pictures, and while they ate them, we tried to get a couple pictures of just Brady and I 💜
The kids weren’t doing especially well, and Wavy took it upon herself to cheer the group up. A cookie in both hands, she ran into the picture and started dancing. It was SO funny!
It was a really really nice day together 💜
Thank you, Cher, for taking these pictures for us 💜 You give us such a gift every single time you do.
We wrapped it up watching the sun go down at the beach.
Now that you’ve all shared in our beautiful day…
Get mailboxes.
Thats an order.
No more trying to delicately fit cards into window trim without messing up weatherstripping.
Next year, its going to be painters tape on windows.
You’ve been warned.
HAHAHAHA I love you SO much! 💜 Thank you for the very lovely words, and for the super cute picture of us! Man we are cute! Happy Galentines Day!
While everyone else has orders to get a mailbox, I lovingly order you to change your family photo on the blog 😉 but of course, no pressure! Only love!
💚🧡 peas and carrots
Oh I absolutely will!! No pressure AT ALL! Only love!
