Family Pictures

We loved having my mom come visit for a week after Hazel was born.  During her visit we lost power for 3 days.  It was a big challenge with 4 kids including a newborn with freezing temperatures outside, so I was grateful to have my mom here to help!  I felt a little cheated out of a fun visit with her, but things definitely happen for a reason, not sure I would have made it on my own.  We were blessed to have a way to keep warm and cook food, but everything took soooooo long and so much more effort than normal.  Add in 3 bored children and a newborn I was worried about staying warm and it put me at my breaking point!

 These pics were taken while we still had power :)




Snoozing her life away at 1 week.


Family photos is a phrase that strikes fear into Nick's heart.  I think he hates them more than the kids hate taking them.   Over the years we have learned a few tricks to make it a little more bearable but it's never very fun.  We managed to do it in 15 minutes and had a few that turned out decent enough.









The kiddos


We had H bundled up so you couldn't really see her in any of the family pics but she was there!
