Once upon a time, I always had our family photos taken in January.  Then last year I decided to wait until the summer so we wouldn’t be so January-pasty…

So we went in September.

I expected we’d do it in the summer again this year.

And I never made time….

So – here we are in November – and I was determined to fit in the photos.  Wasn’t it great that I picked the busiest weekend possible to squeeze it in? 

They were running an hour late…. we hung in there knowing if we left we’d never go back.

We looked at Christmas things, and toys, and Johanna played registration clerk with this one dad who was also waiting.  She was a hoot.

Finally, we had the photos taken, and they were really good.

I do regret that I didn’t have them take a separate photo of each kid, but I decided not to lament it for too long…

I love the color combo we did.
