This was our Christmas card last year… we took these pictures in October 2012.  The girls have grown and changed so much in 7 short months!  I love taking pictures because every day they seem to look a little bit older, and I don’t want to miss a thing!

 

My friend Stacy took our pictures last year, and all I remember was there was a slight chill in the air, and we had a whole lot of fun!

We couldn’t get a picture of the entire family smiling all at once, and I’m a little traditional like that, so we ended up using the one of just the girls for our Christmas card… but even that one we had to trade out one of their faces from another picture that they were smiling in, but I’m not going to tell you which girl it was!  Stacy switched her face for us in photoshop and did an amazing job!

I saw this idea somewhere, and we decided to try it!  We had fun tossing baby Rose… she loved it too!!!

 

We were having trouble getting Anna Kate to smile and kept saying, “Smile, Anna Kate!” so Noelle decided to step in and help us out a little bit… then Anna Kate really had trouble smiling after that!

 

After the photo shoot, we let the girls play their little hearts out in the field as it got dark.  I can’t believe I never shared these pictures from our Christmas card photo shoot on the blog!  Well, it made for a fun throwback Thursday post!
