pictures from the pro...

I take a ridiculous amount of photos of my dear kiddos, but at least once a year, I like to let the professionals take over.  Our dear sister-in-law Christy is a photographer and has been taking pictures of our kids as long as we have had them.  =)  It is so awesome to see how she can capture each of them so well, differently than I can.  We are also both really laid back so we usually hit the park for an afternoon, and Christy will just follow them and shoot.  And if it just isn't working, the kids just play and we try another afternoon.  Love her and love the photos that she has taken for us.  Here are the ones for 2013:

 

We usually get the cousins in on the pictures too...

...pity they never have any fun together  =)

Thanks again, Christy!
