'Tis the Season...

...to take pictures! Every year when we go down to Birmingham, we do family photos. None of the ones of Mike, Autumn, and me turned out well but we got some cute ones of other people. For example, here are Mama Lainey, Papa D, and Tyler looking nice. And, I think this could be Autumn's first documented cheesy "photo smile." Ha!


I love this one of the kids with Brad and Lindsay. I like how Brad is holding onto the car Autumn is on like she's about to take off. She probably was!


All the Colleys! I love having a big family now. I think I've mentioned before that most of my dad's family doesn't really bother with us--with the notable exception of our very awesome Uncle Rex--and most of my mom's is in the Philippines. So, for so long it was just me and my immediate family plus our friends who are like family (you know who you are!). I love that Autumn gets to have lots of aunts, uncles, and (eventually) cousins.


This would be a great photo of the siblings if it weren't for the fact that Mike and I are sitting and leaning oddly.


Since our photos didn't turn out, Mike, Autumn, and I went to Mike's parents' place Sunday to have some potential Christmas card pictures taken. A few of them turned out great. This could be one of my all time favorite shots of Mike and Autumn:


We don't seem to pose very well so I asked Papa D to take some pictures of us swinging Autumn. :D They weren't Christmas card worthy but these are so cute!


By the way, let's all take a moment to go "awwwww" over Autumn's outfit. Teehee. It's so cute! Guess who got it for her? You only get one guess!


I think we'll end on this one. I like it for some reason--we're all looking up at Mama Lainey. And, it kinda tickles me because I look really, really filipina here. Hahaha.


By the way, if you have never gotten a Christmas card from us and would like to, let me know! I love getting cards as well as sending them so I'd love to get one from you! :D You can email me your address at sharaze at gmail dot com.
