WARNING: There are lots of great pictures of some seriously cute kids ahead. All credit for the photos goes to Lisa Christensen, and I guess Joe and I will split the credit for making beautiful babies :)
On our last morning in Detroit, we opted to have Lisa take some pictures of each of the kids, and a few family shots. The weather looked like it wasn't going to cooperate and was rather cold, but the sun came out for a bit and Joseph and Joe had fun playing around outside. These are some of our favorites, but there were lots of other great shots too. We can't thank Lisa enough for always being so agreeable to taking family photos for us!
And a few unedited ones, that we weren't going to use for possible Christmas card pictures, but I think are fun anyway (and want to make sure they make it into the blog book!)
I love that Lisa captured these next two - she was apparently bribing Joseph with candy, and he ended up looking like a baby bird waiting to be fed...
And the current version of Joseph's "stinky face", which has definitely evolved over the years. Now that he can vocalize when he's not happy with us, he certainly chooses to do so, but every so often this face pops out instead when he's at a loss for words.
We had a lot of fun visiting with everyone. While there's always lots of anticipated chaos, what with so many little kids and babies, I know it'll be even more fun someday when we are all finished having babies and the kids have grown up enough to play and entertain themselves. Joseph has loved getting to visit with his cousins so much this year, and talks about playing with them constantly. It's too bad that no one lives close enough for more frequent visits! I'm hoping in 2013 that we can travel for long weekends or during the week and visit Lisa and Linda's families more, especially now that Joseph is old enough to enjoy and appreciate the visits with his family.
