Making Family Photos A Priority

We are a family with almost no family photos.  I don't know why, we just never really make/have made time for them.  It's a joke in our house that the best photo we've ever taken as a family is our Goldilocks portrait.  ;))
When we got dressed all nice to head over to Friendsgiving hosted by Elsie and Emma, I knew this was one of the rare occasions that needed to be documented.  We don't dress up all that often, really.  After we stuffed ourselves silly (and Poesy ate alllllll the Jell-O that was made for the kids), Elsie came out and snapped a few photos for me.  I had to tickle sugar-baby to even get a smile, because she wasn't in the mood to be held (she's a BIG GIRL, you know).  But I'm glad to have these.  AND, that middle picture cracks me up!  Almost like they planned it...

I think one of my 2014 goals will be getting more family pictures taken.  I have lots with the girls + me and lots with the girls + Johnny, but I need more with all of us.  Even if someone blinks in every single one.  ;)

    My family has like 2-3 photos together and the most recent one was from like 10 years ago and is boring. I regret that my parents weren't more interested in getting a fun family photo like these!

    For such a stunningly beautiful family, I'm surprised you don't really have any family portraits! All my childhood family photos look similar to these though, I could not for the life of me be serious. Poesy and I have that in common, for sure :)

    That is such a great 2014 goal! Family photos are so much harder to remember to capture than they should be. I need to remember to capture more photos, too.
