They are beautiful pictures!! But I have to give it to your husband in the last picture! He is totally wondering when it will be over! Ha! I love the picture of your daughter in the leaves!! So picture perfect. They all are =)
I love the wild outfits! Beautiful pictures as always. I love coming to your blog to see the wonderful pictures you take of your family. I finally broke down and got a real SLR camera after seeing all of your pictures. Now if I can just figure out how to use it. Ha!
Maybe next year you should just plan on including a book of pictures! Love it!
I just LOVE all these gorgeous girls of yours! and your son, he's just such a nice kid, letting those girls take over the camera~~ LOVE LOVE LOVE these!

Shawni-Everyone looks so cute. Our pics this year were a disaster…after 3 tries I just took the one that didn't look the worst. I thought it was hard when they were little…little did I know what it would be like with teenagers. Love your new header.
Shawni – I've probably said this before, but I will say it again – what a BEAUTIFUL family you have!
Love the outtakes.
that last photo is a classic!!!!!!!!!! the pictures are just gorgeous;)

so cute! I love the girls outfits.
David is AWESOME in that last picture. LOVE IT!
Dave's expression pretty well sums up my thoughts on Christmas card photos. 🙂
Those are awesome! Love the color and light! Yeah, that last one is my favorite too! HAHAHA!
I love that picture of Dave sitting there with the "dad face"
These photos are all so beautiful. I love the spunk with all three girls.
That last one made laugh out loud – so much like my husband! 🙂
