Winter Wonderland

Our last family pictures were done in Guam and that really wasn't all that long ago. But for us, the last year has made quite a difference and we definately needed new pictures. I am so happy about this too. I was lucky enough to get my tropical family pictures then...and to come to Alaska now, you'd better believe that I wanted those Winter Wonderland type family pictures. Our photo shoot was very successful considering the temperature and having 3 kids now. Who knew that 3rd child would make such a difference??? Let me tell you, when there are 3 and you are standing in a foot of snow, one of them has to end up walking. Weston, you are a trooper!! It was a warmer day (+15*) but we still were cold. (Mostly because I am a dork and wanted us to somewhat be coordinanted in our outfits and that doesn't work so well when we are all in our snow gear. So, we all have 3 or 4 shirts on and were braving the cold that way.) In between different shots we all jumped (litterally) into Karla's car and warmed up for the next series of pictures. That seemed to work out ok until we ran out of light. All in all, I am glad that they are done and over with, and I am glad that they are done in time for Christmas cards!!
