It's That Time of Year Again...

...time for Christmas card picture torture fun!  I really wanted to try and get some good pictures of the kids and of all of us...it was a beautiful day, and I talked Dan into finally getting a family picture because it will be the last time we're a family of four!  {And I wanted one of me while it was still cute to have a big belly!} 

I didn't get as many as I wanted...but they were all so nice to please me and sit through a few pictures!
...and I was a little limited in poses of us together since I had to set the timer and run to get into position!

{I always seem to get more of Emily than of Alex...but he smiled a little...with arms crossed, of course!}

{And this picture is positively unflattering...but it made me laugh...and it was the very last picture, and everyone wanted it to be over with!  ...it will not be going on the Christmas card!}

I will hopefully get some with all three kids soon to include Elizabeth...but we all know how that goes!

  1. Great pictures, Carrie! You did an awesome job. Especially since you had to set the timer. Way to go. You all look awesome, including you. The last one cracks me up...looks like you stuck a basketball up your dress. You are too stinkin' cute pregnant! And so jealous you guys are still enjoying the fall colors. Our trees are bare already :(
    Hope you have a great weekend!

  3. Those are just beautiful. Did you have the timer set for the family shots? If so, you did an amazing job. Wow.
    I can't wait to see your finished Christmas card shot because I am in desperate need of some ideas this year. ugh. Not sure what I want to do.
    Your belly is so cute BTW. Very soon that bump will be a baby in your arms. Woo hoo.

  4. I always love your pictures and I just love that dress that you have on!!! I love Emily's toothless smile...those are the best. I decided to just do the kids this year. Soon we'll have to do a family picture (maybe).

  5. Great photos! We took our Christmas card picture this weekend too. I've actually stopped worried about the kids looking at the camera and just make sure I look good! ;)

  6. You captured some really good pics! I love the one of your two men...that one is good. I love Emily's boots! You look great!

    We had a family photo session on Sunday...I am praying that one of those pics will work for our Christmas card.

  7. So many great shots! I love the last one...even if you think it is unflattering:) I really like the one with Emily holding the leaf and Alex looking over to the side!
