What an exciting time was had yesterday morning! The long ago scheduled photo shoot for my parents. There were 23 of us in one spot all at the same time...amazing feat on it's own! We missed you Jeremy! He's getting photo-shopped in to the big family portrait for my parents, since this photo of all of us was their big desire for the 60th wedding anniversary celebration. so I snapped a few candid shots here and there just for fun, it all went amazingly well, 23 people, including a 7,5,3,2 1/2 year, 18 months, 11 months, 6 months great grands! It was quite entertaining as a couple of the Daddy's standing in the back kept running around with the 18 month old and 11 month old until the exact moment, then they'd jump into place, Jamie would pull the pacifier and flash goes the camera!
Here is Jen with her Uncle Ken....
Alissa getting to meet Noah...
So here is our photographer Richard ( Mr. Patience) setting up his equipment, chairs etc. in one of the anterooms at my parents church.... We took a few candid individual family shots outside in the pretty garden then did the big family all together with these chairs and the mob of us all standing behind. Richard had jingle bells that really helped with the kiddos. At the end we thought we'd try Mom and Dad with just the great grands, so here they are getting ready. It was hilarious, I"m sure one of them will be just perfect :-). Little ones looking at each other in the chairs, it was so fun....
And this angle was almost as much fun, all the parents....
One of these days we'll have some finished shots I can show you but for now, here's the behind the scenes trying to make 7 little ones all look up and smile at once!
And of course here is Jamie and Noah...with his tie! ( shirt wouldn't quite button under that chin!)
This whole group is coming to our house at 4 for a mexican feast and holiday celebration, tons of food, drinks, a couple games and gifts to open! It'll be great fun!
