I decided that since Mackenzie is turning 4, and Madison is 18 months old, now would be the perfect time to have updated family pictures taken. This is such a chore...I love taking picture of the girls, but when we all have to coordinate, get ready and stay clean, and look at the camera and smile at the same time, it is STRESSFUL for this momma! A while back, G-Ma found these adorable outfits for the girls, and I just knew they needed their pictures made in them. Then I got a new outfit, that matched perfectly. Poor Brian had to wear the same shirt he wore for our family pictures a year and a half ago when Madison was born. He is such a good sport...he really didn't want to do it, but it was the only black shirt he had, and he wanted to make me happy! We decided it would be a fun story, and something to laugh about for years to come! Believe it or not, the picture above was the very first one the photographer took. She could have stopped right there, and I would have been happy! Who would have thought that we would get such a great picture on the first shot! It was a good thing she took fast pictures...Madison's attention span only lasted about 7 minutes. She did really good for our family photos and for pictures with Mackenzie, but when it came to individual pictures of her, she was done. She wouldn't smile or sit still, and she just wanted to carry the chair around instead of sit in it! Oh, well...I was just glad we got the together shots! Her pictures are still sweet, and capture very clearly what her mood was on this particular morning! Mackenzie did SO good! I was so, so proud of her. She looked right at the camera and smiled, and her pictures couldn't be cuter! I love my family so much! I know I have a fascination with pictures...they capture moments in time that you will never have again. How wonderful to be able to always look back at them and smile!
