This is about how it usually goes to try to get a pic with several of my kids.

Although they loved it, it took a long time to get done and their personalities did not do well for sitting and having someone else do it.

It was fun to have for a while though!

Self Portraits in the Snow ~January 2016

I did a project last January to get in pictures with all of my kids but could only share the ones I took with my boys.

Here are some I took with “B” in some beautiful snow we had.

In case you are wondering, it is a really bad idea to look at beautiful pictures taken in snow when it is almost Christmas and thunderstorms are in the forecast…

Here are the previous posts with the boys shots, here and here.

I took SO MANY pictures!!!

I think the knowledge that I would be able to share them soon made me go crazy.

This was the weekend before the adoption and I could not stop smiling about getting to share these pics.

Such a perfect fall day.

“M” likes to wear a backpack on hikes with a few snacks and water.

She is in the pink.

Yes I did take a hundred pics of the girls holding dad’s hand.

It’s adorable.

“B’s” adorable face.

I love her trying to hold back a smile face.

My family is adorable.

Someone did not like the crisp fall air.

Always trying to see what big brothers are doing.

Those pom pom’s!

So adorable!

They thought her long arms were pretty funny.

I waited for years for this place to open.

I am so glad they finally did it!

It is only open on select Saturday’s though so you need to check their facebook page before you go.
