Christmas Portraits

At the top of my Wish List this year was a family photo.  Something even more important since it's likely to be our last (for a while) to include Michael because he's planning to move 600 miles south in just a few months. 

We took more than 400 photos with the usual 5% to 10% "keeper" rate.  These were my favorite five.  As always, click any of them to see a larger view.

   

 

Aunt Laura sent a package for Gwen and Maddy and they were pretty thrilled to see the wrapped present and didn't even insist on opening them.  Just look at those beautiful faces! (above)

Here's a goofy fun casual family photo.  Really, this best reflects our family because there's always some degree of goofy fun taking place!

 

Here's Michael and his girlfriend, Kelsey.  She's a real sweetheart and they're such a cute couple!   

 
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
