Family Pictures!

While we were in Colorado, we had the opportunity to take family pictures. My sister, Shawna, set it all up. The woman, Melanie, who took our pictures has two daughters and Shawna was their teacher. So when Melanie heard that we all would be in town at the same time she offered to take family pictures. We were very excited. It would be the first time that we would have professional pictures taken of our family. Matt and I have always been a little leery of getting family pictures taken because we never new how the kids would do and we didn't want to pay a lot of money in case our kids wouldn't cooperate. Usually we just set up our own camera on a tripod and set the timer and hope for the best. We have been pretty lucky so far. 

BUT... it was nice to have someone else take our pictures and capture the cuteness of the kids and all of the family. Melanie took over 400 pictures in less than an hour of 13 people. The whole crew included: 

1. Shawna (my sister)

2. Donna (my sister)

3. Rylie (my niece)

4. Piper (my niece)

5. Aaron (Donna's fiance)

6. Little Matt (Aaron's son)

7. Sarah (Aaron's daughter)

8. Linda (my mom)

9. Don (my dad)

10. Matt

11. Lucas

12. Macie 

13. Me

Here are just a few sneak peaks of the pictures. To say the least, I love them! I can't wait to see all of them.
