Every year since having Graham, we make an effort to take a family photo so that we can send it to family and friends and have an annual record that I am, indeed, part of this family. I love going back and watching our family grow.

Last year we also included a photo I had taken of all three kids, as we thought it kind of captured their personalities perfectly. It’s framed and on our fireplace mantle as well.
2010
Last weekend, I took one of the three of them as I was setting up my tripod for our annual shoot.
It, too, captures their personalities but I’m not sure if that one will go on the mantle.
I managed to grab a photo of the five of us that we all liked with less than ten tries.
(We tried to get a photo with the dog included in it but he kept facing the wrong way.)
We sure have come a long way. Happy holidays, folks.
Awesome!! It’s so fun looking at this timeline of pics. Love this year’s offering also!

I absolutely love looking at your family pics.
we got our first family picture EVER this summer. I am so angry that we’ve never taken them! They are such a treasure.

In the 2004 photo, Graham TOTALLY looks like Daniel! Also, you look like you haven’t aged a day since 2003. I love this year’s photo and I love that you posted all the years, so awesome to see the changes in the number of kids and in the kids themselves.

I got all excited just now, remembering I took 2009′s family photo!
Also, I have that picture of your kiddos framed and on my mantle, too. Though I suppose it’s less “mantle” and more “console table.”
Also, you are beautiful, A.

You’re purty!

That’s a beautiful photo! Wow, have those guys grown
Also, I’d totally have inlcuded the one with the dog butt – somehow it seems appropriate for the species.

You have a gorgeous family.
And a great family photo is less than 10 tries??? You are truly awesome.

CUTE!
Also, the fact that all your kids have blond hair gives me hopes that when Vahid and I have a kid (ya know a LONG time from now) that maybe they will have blue eyes. (His mom has them so they run in his family and I obviously have them. One can hope right?)

We do the same thing every year. I’ve never tried to look at them year by year. You’ve inspired me. (love your shots and your respective ‘tudes)
