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.

2009
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.

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.

Love seeing the family history. Gorgeous photos!
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.
.-= Ashley´s last blog ..Let me tell you =-.
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?)
.-= Sarah´s last blog ..It’s cold outside And white But it’s not Christmas =-.
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)
