Family Pictures 2013

This year since we are dirt-poor-college-students we thought we'd give each sibling the gift of a family photo shoot to use for their Christmas cards. It was super fun and so easy to shoot such beautiful people. We did Josi's shoot over Thanksgiving while she was visiting from DC. Then we shot my sister Karina and her 2 kids, my sister Cami and her husband and 4 kids, and my brother and his wife and their 2 kids. The day we did Jon's photo shoot he took some pictures of us which was so awesome! Thanks Jon!!!!

 We ended up making a big family calender for my Mom and Dad and each sibling with all of our birthdays and anniversaries and such. It's so hard to keep track of everyone's special days! Well, not anymore! ;-) My Mom and Dad have 5 kids and will have 13 grand kids by the end of 2013! That's one great big growing family! I love my family more than anything in the world and I'm so blessed by each and every member of this extraordinary bunch. We get closer and closer with each passing year and I can't imagine life without these amazing people. I love my family!!!! xoxox

The oldest and the youngest- could not be closer in spirit.

Ok, we had to get ONE picture of the 2 of us in front of Kari's gorgeous tree!

We showed Savannah where we live on the globe- too far away from California! Then we sang some Christmas songs around the piano. I love the sweet spirit in my sister's home.

Don't forget about Rocky!!!

We did Jon's shoot at our favorite "go-to" spot for just about anything- the Montage! Oh man, I can't get over how gorgeous these girls are. They are all super models! And of course my brother is super, super good looking- runs in the family. ;-) 

Even though my sister, Cami, has the largest family with 4 kids her photo shoot took less time than anyone else's! They are naturals! Not one single picture didn't turn out of this stunning family! This shoot was a total blast and I love the park they chose- the colors were exquisite! Such a FUN family!!!!

And here we are- the 3 musketeers! I'm so glad my brother took some pictures for us! They turned out fantastic! 

I love my little family!!!! 

Tanner, as always, did a fabulous job. He's the best! He even made a very sweet slideshow of all these pictures to show on Christmas Eve. He worked so hard and I'm so proud of him!!!

 2012 never looked better!
