Family Picture Cray Cray Day...

Why is it so hard to get ONE great family picture????

Let me back up...

So I had this brilliant idea that since we live in Alaska we should take our family Christmas card pictures outside...late November when it's -2 outside. Sounds good in theory right? Well maybe if I had girls it would have been easy.... but then again maybe not.

So I mentioned this idea to my friend Michelle and she offered not only to take the picture's but use her awesome camera. What? And she was amazing! 

So I will attempt to tell this story with pictures. It's more fun that way.

So this is before the fall....Boys are happy.

Look at me mom! Still happy.



I can jump higher than Ethan!

What!! Dad let you bring sleds? And mom let you sled before pictures. Were they born yesterday?!?!

Our beautiful location for pictures! 10 miles away from our home.



Why does Ethan look like he has been crying? Wait while sledding he took a nose dive into the pavement. Yep that happened. And they are freezing because mom just told them to take ALL winter gear off in -2 weather AND look happy! They did not see that coming. Mom relented and let the hats stay on.

Oops... forgot to take my gloves off!

At least Ethan has stopped crying.

Not only was Michelle an amazing photographer but she got Ethan to laugh.



Love this picture of Bradley....But is it me or does this picture say "Mom I am your favorite right?"



Yay we did get a great family picture!!! But it was NO easy task!

Ethan was in no mood to take a picture by himself so I cropped this one out of our family one.

This is Michelle's son Jaxon, AKA Ethan's BEST friend! Such a cutie!

So there you have it...Our fun "CRAY CRAY" family picture day!
