2009 Family Pictures

It seems like the best way to end my 2009 blog posts is with some shots from our annual photoshoot. This year we had my friend Teri take our pictures and I think she did a FANTASTIC job! Addie was super uncooperative so we worried we wouldn't end up with any good shots but we are pleasantly surprised by what she got!!


Since I had a hard time narrowing down which 25 (!!!!) to put on the blog I have no idea how I will ever choose what to frame/hang in the house! This is literally just a fraction of the awesome shots she got! THANKS Teri!!



Handsome/crazy guys:





She took a series of shots of this funny thing happening with me and my girls. Here's a few of them. These crack me up:






Such a twinkle in this one's eye:

One of my favorites, despite Allen nearly getting his eye gouged out.




The EVER elusive all three child shot:


HELLO Handsome!

Great Pictures! I love the one's with Addie pinching her cheeks! Oh, and I know all about the "elusive" 3 kid shot as well... they are hard to come by!

LOVE all the pictures and Christmas updates. You guys are so fun. I can't believe how big your kids are getting and how small you are getting. I love reading your blog. Have a wonderful new year...

These are simply darling! I love the one you used for your Christmas card, but really, they are all just so cute.

You are a tiny thing and looking so fab in your Big Star(?) jeans!

Oh - I think Kristi just answered my question! You do look FABULOUS, Monique! Your whole family is adorable - I love the shot of Carter and Makenna hugging, and the one of you and Al - I need to be better about "couple" pictures! Addie looks like such a firecracker - too cute! These pictures are wonderful!

Everyone looks fabulous--so bright-eyed and colorful. I love the outfits and the candid shots, especially Carter and Allen. And, the pix that has Makenna throwing her head back and laughing--great! Young moms nowadays take much better pictures than we used to. Digital cameras and the instant picture check are the best!
