Family Pictures and a brake in

You know family pictures will have a lasting impression, not because the photo turn out well but more likely because of the story behind the pictures.

Well this years family pictures will always be remember because of the story behind them.

Mid November I decided we would have our family pictures taken.  My friend offered to take our pictures for free and I wasn't about to let a free photo shoot go by.  So one Monday afternoon when the sun was shining we crammed into the car and drove down to the park to take some pictures.  The pictures turned out great, even though Grace was tired and James wasn't too excited to being taking family pictures yet again. We had so many fun pictures I couldn't decide which where my favorite so here are a few, I mean many of my favorites.

 

 

 

  

 

After a great photo sessen we walked back to our car only to find  this.

yep, we've lived in Tacoma for 3 years and we finally had someone brake into our car.  Of course they had to brake a window in our "nice" car (our 2001 Saturn).  It's been an interesting few weeks as we've closed bank accounts, replace the car window, and had to shop for a new wallet and diaper bag.  yep my Christmas present this year was a new diaper bag.  Oh well.

With everything that could have happened the whole experience was actually quite stress free for the most part.  Which has been a big blessing.  I don't understand how we are so blessed all the time but i'd like to think it's because we pay a full tithe.  :-)

So when you get our Christmas card in the mail this year, you can remember the story behind the family portraits   :-)
