Family Christmas Pictures

We had a family picture from Dave's wedding in April which we were going to use for Christmas cards. However, Marissa got her braces off this week and she really wanted to have a picture without her braces. Marissa tie-dyed matching Christmas shirts for us for the pictures. Today was pretty much the coldest, windiest day of the year; not a good day for picture taking!! We couldn't find the piece we needed to attach the camera to the tripod so we set the camera on a stool to take pictures. We were really struggling and then the doorbell rang. Everyone was excited because it meant we would have someone to take our pictures. Our 8 year old neighbor Hailey was at the door. I showed Hailey how to push the button down and hold it to take repeat pictures and so Hailey took the pictures.

Our best inside picture, but we decided to just brave the cold and wind and try a few outdoor pictures.
The best picture of Kate.
The picture we eventually used. It isn't perfect, but it was definitely the best one!
