Are family pictures really as painful as many of these faces indicate? Clara was slouching and hunched over in most of the pictures. In one, she was bending her knees. Not sure what was going on in her little head. Hazel was only not looking in a few pictures - this is one of them. Oh well, I'm pretty sure Kathryn can work her Photoshop magic to fix all the problems in the least problematic picture. This picture required the least amount of editing and still offered the general idea of how awesome my family is. The picture isn't perfect, but being all together was. Besides, I thought our outfits all coordinated rather nicely. That should count for something, right?

28 and Counting
When I found out Rachel and her family, Daniel and Steven were all coming for Christmas, I decided we had to find a way to convince Emily and her entire family to come as well. After I went to the Post Office and realized how expensive her package would cost to send, I decided to beg more and pray harder. It worked and for the first time in over 5 years, my entire family was together. 2 parents, 9 children, 5 in-laws and 12 grandchildren. Of course we talked a lot. Of course we ate. Of course we took pictures. And OF COURSE, the family pictures didn't turn out perfectly like I envisioned. But hey, we were all together and here's a picture to prove it.
