FAMILY PICTURES 2012

We love being Grandma and Grandpa

Love the feeling of having all the grandkids around us!!



This was the kids favorite.  However, I see Ethan trying to hide, Ryan being more dignified and Tommy on the serious side also.  Kind of love the craziness of it!!

Aren't they all just beautiful?

We all went to Lake Wilderness Park for the photos.  Rebecca and Jason did the photography.  The kids loved being in the park settng.   They were so good and patient while the picture-taking was being done.  Some of the little ones, mostly Matthew and Allie weren't sure they wanted to sit on Grandma and Grandpa's laps, but the photographers managed to get them both not crying!  I love that the pictures captures each personality.  Afterwards the kids all played together, running around the park, and on the playground.  I remember that the older children always included the younger ones.  Everyone just seemed happy.  It was heartwarming for this grandma and grandpa to witness it all.  I hope this is what heaven is like. 

 

P.S.  I hope to add to this post when Rebecca finishes photoshopping the other photos.
