our family photo shoot (and Christmas card... late!)

So in my lack of blogging lately, I realized I never posted last year's Christmas card or our pictures from our own family photo shoot.  So here they are.  Better late than never, right? ;)

We went to a local wildlife preserve with my parents and younger brother.  My little bro is a photographer too (he does bands and shows) so I just gave him my camera, (attempted to) pose us, and let him shoot all the ones with me in them.  I took all the other shots, as well as did all the editing.  Here are some of our close but not quite it shots.

Not quite what we wanted for our Christmas card, but it does capture the essence of our family! Ha!

And the winner.  Could it be?  Is everyone smiling AND looking at the camera?  Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor.

Now taking a brothers picture was not easy.  They wanted to run and explore, and who could blame them?  These still turned out adorable, I think!

And the winner!  See the candy in Nolan's mouth?  Yes, we are not above bribing!

I  also got some fun shots of the boys individually.  These ones crack me up because Nolan was just off in his own little world dancing.  Look at that hip action!

My brother's name is Timmy but my boys call him "Uncle B."  This is from when Sean was very small & we tried to get him to say "Uncle Timmy" but it came out "Uncle Bee-ee" and so it kind of stuck.  He's a pretty cool uncle :)

Sorry these are so late.  I am trying really hard to get better at blogging again.  I have be slacking for sure!

Great pictures! That picture of Nolan with his finger by his mouth and scrunchy smile looks just like your scrunchy smile picture!
