Christmas pictures 2010

Zane's painful smile

Loved this truck.

I love profiles.

This is Claire typical look... what a pill!

This ones pretty good except for Zane.

OH MY GOSH.....is that a smile?

Just if Claire was looking!

You know how it goes, you get the outfits all together, get everyone ready, load up the car, get to the location and whammo...nothing goes according to plan. I should first say a shout out to our photographer , Alex. He is dating Melissa and has an enormous talent for such a young chap. He was pretty affordable too. So if you like what you see, let me know and I will pass his number on to you. OK, so Claire fell asleep on our way down to Sedona along the switchbacks and was super cranky when we got there so she didn't smile. Zane did the typical 5 year old grin that is forced and often looks like he is in some sort of pain. Brian's collar was half in and half out and no one noticed...not even me. It was a beautiful location and so many awesome places for great photos. I especially loved the green grass with all the leaves falling down. One lady saw us taking pictures came over and picked up handfuls of leaves and began throwing them on us. It was pretty funny. After it was all over, we went to the Javelina Cantina for dinner. Getting the pictures back made me happy to get a few good ones and realize how important this time is in my life when all my children are with me and how much we all love each other..even if some are more cranky than others!
