For this week’s Fun Friday I’m sharing with you my family portraits. Yes, we are a big group..but a fun one too! : ) Family get-togethers are always exciting. and loud. When it used to be just the six of us (my parents and us four girls!) we were already loud, but now- very loud. With five girls in the family it was hard to talk because EVERYONE wanted to talk. Wish you could be there for our dinners- the girls had to take turns talking, raising our hands if we had something to say. We really trained Daddy to be a good listener! : )

Anyway! Here we are, all 16 of us.

We actually squeezed in our family portraits before another session I had that day. We were a bit rushed and I SO wish I had more time to take individual portraits of each person, but that will have to wait for another time. These next few pictures are the few I snuck in as we were waiting for the rest of the group to arrive. 

Ok, so I know I talk about my sisters a lot. Well now you get to meet each one of them and their families! : ) This is my oldest sister Emily, her husband Jonathan, and their four kids. They currently live in Kansas City, Missouri so we only get to see them a few times a year (totally not enough!), but it’s always so much fun when we do.

This next picture is of my second sister Elizabeth, her husband Leonard, and their two girls. 

And here is my third sister Eunice, her husband Ben, and their baby girl. 

Just Mommy & Daddy! : )

And as we’d like to call it, this is the OG group : )

Ok, so I thought it would be fun to show you a behind-the-scenes photo. A huge shout-out to James for letting me borrow your tripod. While it wouldn’t have been possible without the tripod, it was also SUPER hard to get the kiddies to focus on the camera without someone behind it. Ah-well, good enough! : )
