Christmas in July-revisited





I didn't send out Christmas cards this year. Sigh. The shame still haunts me- six months later!

It wasn't for lack of trying. We had two "photo shoots" in attempt to get a photo of all eight of us worthy of printing on a card. All the photos were TERRIBLE... until we finally found a fantastic photographer who also happens to be a pal of mine. (Why didn't I think of her sooner?!?) But, every time the scheduled day arrived, it either rained or somebody was sick.
We finally had a great shoot- like 5 days before Christmas. Not in time to send out cards, but at least I kept our yearly Christmas photo tradition alive (much to the chagrin of my husband and children.)
Since my mind is oddly turned to Christmas right now, I thought I'd catch up and post some of these Christmas photos.

As for next year, I was already planning on having Erin take our pictures in September or October- just to be safe. Unfortunately... she moved to Wisconsin. Ugh!

I remember Julie mentioning you guys were going to Utah. When is that? Have you already gone? We are to be in Zion July 23rd - Aug 3. Any chance you'll be around the same time?

Oh happy day! I love it when I find a bunch of posts here I haven't read. I love the cows. I love the Christmas pics, I love the gingerbread houses. I'm glad one of us (you) is being a good mommy. I will just have to live through you.
