Merry Christmas from the Blacks

This may be as close as we get to a Christmas card this year .... I messed around with the camera this afternoon in prep for a photo shoot I am doing tonight, so I thought that I would try and get a few shots of the kids and myself for practice. I'm sure that Jared will be upset that he missed the whole event. Don't worry. I have a good pic of Jared in mind to post soon! Have a great Christmas if I don't post again on this blog until after the holidays are done!

New Pics of Jared and Kor

Jared, I know that you love it when I post pictures of you on the blog, but I thought that this one of you turned out great.

Alright Dad, here's the new pics of Koria for your wall. Sorry you didn't like the ones from before ... actually I like these better too. I just can't get enough of that red hair! She's a babe. Here you go!

More Fam Pics

This time around, we have a shot of Shanell's group with Cade's arm down. I like the other one better, but thought that I would include both for you just in case. Becky, I can't remember which direction you wanted the one of us as sisters, so I edited a couple both ways.

Family Shots

No, I'm not taking shots at my family. Just shots of you. There's a difference. Here's the promised individual family shots, minus ours, Derek, and Becky. Why is it that our family can never take a good picture all together? Curse of the 2 sets of twins, I guess. Same as before ... you should be able to get the files right from this blog. Any problems? Call me and I'll send them to you via email.

Mom and Dad

Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Sharon and Michael ... it's all the same. I think you two look better than ever. I'm proud to be your daughter. Just look what a wonderful family is following in your footsteps. That's pretty amazing, don't you think? I love you both very much.

Ashlyn

Ashlyn, one of these days, you are going to let the rest of us enjoy you other than just your parents. In the meantime, thanks for giving me some smiles for the pics.

Layne

Layne, I know that I'm a bit one-sided on this debate, but I think you are extra special. That deep growly laugh gets me every time. I had to through in an extra shot of you because they were too hard to chose from.

Luke

Luke Buke, you are one funny boy. I love your laugh, your smile, your tender side ... just not the early terrible two phase you've just begun. I knew what that red hair meant the day you were born.

Dorrin

Dorrin, aka Smiley Pants ... I think that you and Landon should have a smile-off contest. Don't know who would win, but it would be a pretty tight race for first.

Landon

Landon, your "smile" makes me smile. Thanks for giving up the hat for the shots too.

Kimball

Kimball, if you had an indian name, it would be "Boy With Boundless Energy." Love ya man. Keep the super smooches coming my way, buddy.

Koria

Korker, you're a nut. Don't even know where to start, and as I already cover a high majority of you in our other blog from day to day, I'll keep this short. I love ya.

Kedryn

Kedryn, you fit right in with your family. I don't think that there is any mistaking that you belong with your parents and siblings. Keep keeping them in line, dude.

Cade

Cade, you truly are one of Kimball's best buddies. Thanks for taking off the hat for me to get some pictures of you. I owe you one.
