Family Pictures New Years Eve 2012

 I'll start by saying I will NEVER do this again. 
But i'm sure glad we did! 

We haven't had a professional family picture since that blonde 
cutie in the front was 3 months old.
She is now 9 years old. 
My little bro Jon lives in CA now so we had to do this
while he was here for Christmas. 


We cancelled for snow once, and went through 3 different photographers.
Each getting cheaper and cheaper so I couldn't complain.


Three people were sick that I know of...
one of my children included.


It was about 13 degrees outside, and if you didn't notice,
it's snowing...


If it weren't for a barn at Wheeler Farm that was heated it
is a fact we would have perished. 


I came prepared with bags of candy, hot chocolate,
hand warmers that never heated up and my dad even brought a 
portable propane heater. You can also see here that we 
were heavily armed, for whatever reason....


My kids were a NIGHTMARE.

Did I mention I will never do this again?
At least not in December, in freezing temps, with sick people.

These pictures are awesome!!! We had family pictures this year as well. Ours were in July so I can't complain at about weather, but I will never do that again because it was insane trying to get all my brothers and sister to come. I bet you are glad how they turned out :)
