Family Pictures!

When the boys were two weeks and two days old, we had professional family pictures made!

I used a few pics in our Christmas card (which should be coming soon!), so I didn’t include those here.  Though of course they’re very similar to these.

I loooooooove how they turned out!

A few months ago I saw that Lindsay Moore of Fabulous Occasions was doing mini sessions in November, so I signed us up!  I knew I would have teeny babies (and a crazy post-partum body), but I also knew if I didn’t schedule a session, we’d never get around to getting good holiday pictures of our family this year.

I’m so glad we did this!

Lindsay takes the kids’ school pictures up at the church twice a year, and I always love love them.  It was so nice to have her snap our whole family!

The boys did really well, thankfully!

Cutest babies in the universe?  I think so!

I posted this one on Facebook the other day, and I’ve gotten SEVENTY-TWO likes!  I never get seventy-two likes for anything.  :)

Look at James’ eyes in this one – he is so funny!

Look at that big sister with her wings around all the babes.

And finally she got to hold both the babies.  I’m sure Michael was not actually as uncomfortable as he looks.  Ha!

I love Lindsay’s work!!!

I’m so happy we did this and have these treasures to hang on the wall.  Now I just need to get them printed, which of course means stalking my favorite sites for coupon codes.  :)  And figuring out which pictures have to get kicked off the wall to make room for these.  :)

On Friday I hunted around to figure out where I was going to have photo Christmas cards printed.  I eventually settled on cardstore.com, because they will ship the cards to your recipients for just the cost of postage.  Heck, yes!  They also had a coupon code that made their cards pretty reasonable.  I could have found a cheaper spot to print, but then I would have had to address and stamp all the cards.  I just don’t think that’s a good task for this year.  I have no idea what the quality will be like so it’s a bit of an experiment, but I do like the way the card looked online.  I think they should arrive later this week!
