These were supposed to be our Christmas card pictures...

In October before we knew we were moving to Utah, I convinced Johnny to go take family pictures one Saturday. We'd been in desperate need of a family picture, and with Christmas cards coming up, I decided to take matters into my own hands. We were really hoping to find a photographer to take our pictures in Utah, but there are so many "photographers" that it's hard to find the actual photographers out there. So we just did them ourselves with our camera timer and a tripod.

I was 13 weeks pregnant in these pictures and not really showing much. Johnny was dreading the whole experience because he was convinced that Sally would be super naughty through the whole thing... a very valid concern. But the apples all over the ground proved to be a perfect distraction for her. It went about as well as it could have.

And then a few weeks later, we found out we were moving to NYC, and everything went to h-e-double hockey sticks in a hand basket, so we never sent out Christmas cards. But having some family pictures is never a bad thing. So here they are!
