Family Photo Shoot 2012 - Merry Christmas! In July!

Okay, this is super late.  And many of you may have already seen these posted on Facebook.  I wanted to post them here as well.  But we love taking photos.  Even with our not-so-professional camera that I love attempting to edit, to make look like a professional photographer shot these, and not our tripod.  So here is the photo overload you should have gotten back in Dec. 2011 as it was our family photo shoot for Christmas cards that never got sent out.  Merry Late Christmas Everyone!  It was a great year!  

 Because we were by the railroad tracks, we thought we'd try to make a few shots look like they came from a movie poster.  Any guess as to the movie?

Okay, this one should have given it away.  It's our Inception Love Scene shot.  

Brief Summary of the Year:

Alex: Working at Chase Bank and learning a lot about the organization of finances.  Loves to come home before 6pm for a change.
Ligia: Is working part-time at doTerra International and continues to love being a home-maker the rest of the time.  By year's end, she was roasting their fourth bun.
Orion: Reads like a 2nd grader.  He loves learning and going to the library.
Chrysalis: Loves getting her toes painted and doing anything Mommyish like pretending to cook in her mini-kitchen and potty-training her dolls.
Hinckley: Finds it fascinating to pull the DVD's and books off their shelves over and over again.  Loves unravelling rolls of toilet paper.
Baby #4: Enjoys swimming so far.

Merry Christmas In July!  It's never too late (or early) to say it anyways.
