We had some family portraits done today. The only one missing is my sister's husband. He could not make it this weekend. Eventually, maybe, we will have a family portait with all the guys in it. Sheesh.

Everyone...


Grandkids with my parents...


Just the grandkids....


My Luci...being my Luci...


I thought the photographer was crazy to get the girls to do this, but I actually really like the picture. Because Zoe BEGS Maria for hugs on a daily basis and she gives them very grudgingly and it has become something of a joke in our house. Maria sometimes even barters her hugs for favors. It is hilariously bad. So the picture sort of captures a reality in our lives. This one in a collage with the one of Luci above in black and white is priceless. It is getting a spot of honor on my wall.

Well, actually more relatives will see it here! Heh. I totally get your perspective but we are a campy, cheesy kind of family and my parents love formal posed portraits to mark time. We have only done these once before and it was at my parents' house outside and was much less formal (and a LOT more expensive!) we are all terrible about taking candid shots when we are all together so this feels necessary. In that picture the only kid truly uncomfortable and not really laughing for this pic is Maria. Sebastian is really heavy!!!

I know and love that you are a campy, cheesy family and know many, many people love the formal posted portraits :)
