Reunion: Family pictures pt. 1

since we were all together, we took a family photo! nothing too fancy, just a nice picture for mah mama's wall and Christmas card.

dang, we're good looking people. 

Dad, Mom, and The Big 8.

I'm dubbing us now.

DEAR FUTURE MELISSA:

when taking photos, always have hair on both sides of your face.

k, thanks bye

The grandbabies! Owen was having a hard time, hahaha. I love these kiddos! i wanna give 'em all big giant kisses just from looking at the picture! Adorable, all 11 of them. 

The four youngins hopped on a giant tree stump and snapped a few pictures. 

If we ever take a picture where all four of us are smiling like normal human beings, i'll let you know.

until then:

also, i feel like you should know that Jenae was literally sleeping in a car for 8 hours, got to Katrina's house, pulled her hair out of a ponytail, brushed her teeth, and then took these pictures. 

HOW DO YOU LOOK SO DANG PERFECT, ALLLLLL THE TIME, JENAE?!

and speaking of perfect

 and this: 

I sure do love us. 

I couldn't get a good quality picture of Katrina's family, and Allison's family is taking their family photos next month, so they didn't take an individuals at the reunion. But i think both of those families are beautiful, too.

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for you know, falling in love and havin all us gorgeous kids and helping us love each other and stuff.
