Austin holding Ryan - my ugly Christmas sweater in the works in the background
Lee and I hardly ever take pictures, not because we don't want to, but because we have the world's oldest camera and we always forget it. Then we hardly ever look picture worthy. We haven't had a family photo for over 2 years and even then it was at JC Penny. I ooooh and awe at everyone else's family portraits, but dang, I will not spend hundreds of dollars on a photograph. I am sorry I cannot bring myself to do it. Especially when I feel like I have the know how but not the equipment. So when my children look back on their lives in photos they will see the truth.
Yes, half the time you weren't wearing pants, no we never bothered doing your hair. Yes you wore the same outfit for 1 entire year. Yes we got the cheapest Santa photos we could find, yes your Mom is wearing a Hoody Footy. Yes your parents did look young, and yes they were and continue to be awesomely embarrassing. No fabricated photo shop quality picture perfect memories here, just the real freaking deal! But that is one thing I love about us, what you see is what you get. And if you ask me, it's pretty dang good.

I have an idea! You can come to Utah and visit and I'll use you guys as a practice family and take your family pictures so that I can hone my skills. Sound like a plan? :)
We sure miss you guys muchos. I love your hoody footy. I think I need one. I'm so tired of putting on pj pants, and a hoody, and socks. Why not just knock it all out at once??
I'm so glad that we get to see you guys in June or we'd for sure have to take a road trip to see ya.
You crack me up. Glad you're keepin' it real!
I don't know Ash, those photos from your November 26 post look pretty professional are pretty much picture perfect! Incredibly cute grandchildren!..............Larry
I really wish we could have gotten a better glimpse of your hoody footies. Otherwise, no complaints about these photos. Love when anyone keeps it real. You are all adorable! Miss you!
