Picture Time

So Erik and I went and had our pictures made. It was an adventure! We arrived early (for those of you who know me well, that's normal!). We waited and enjoyed chatting with a few family members who would eventually number 17! Holy Cow! I could not imagine getting that many people together at once! My family did it once and it was a hoot!
Anyway, we finally got seen for our shoot (about 40 minutes late). The photog was not all that impressive. She was so unenthusiastic. Now I know you are thinking, it was Thanksgiving Eve and they probably wanted to go home. Sure, but make your job fun! It will go by so much faster. I know, I have worked on New Year's Day, Christmas Eve, and the night before Thanksgiving! I know you have to make it fun! I digress...She took about 28 pics. I was expecting a lot more--I was told a lot more! We did get a clothes change opportunity and several options. We were not all that pleased with the results. However, with some modifications, they turned out ok. The good thing was this--we got the CD for the pics. I have a neat photo editor and this morning I played around with it. I have added a few pics for you to see. I hope you enjoy! These are 3 shots we chose with my modifications. The bottom picture is my favorite. I was having a pretty good hair day! :) Have a great day!
Oh!! Happy Thanksgiving and don't eat too much turkey!

Alli,
Those are great pics!!! I personally love the red outfits! (then again red is my fav color but y'all look really great in them!) Plus your smiles are great! P.S. my family insisted I come for Thanksgiving dinner, so I will get to be with them after all!
