Smith Family Pics

Back in October we were talking at family dinner one Sunday night about how we don't have an official family photo that has any of our most recent additions to the family (namely, Katie, Chase, and Hudson). We never got a good one at Will and Kate's wedding last January, which would have been almost immediately outdated when Hudson arrived 3 weeks later anyway. Then we realized that the stars would be aligning and Nate and Heidi would both be in town the next Saturday. So I hurried and called from good friend Carly, whom I've known and loved forever, and luckily she was free to take our pics! Carly was amazing at keeping Chase's attention and making him laugh- which in turn made everyone else laugh- and we magically got some good family pictures!

 The real magic here is in my dad's happily smiling face- which though it occurs often in real life, very rarely happens in photos. This is mostly a testament to how much he loves these two grandbabies!

So even though this one will be outdated in 6 1/2 months when Will and Kate's BABY comes (insert an insane amount of excitement here!) at least we've got some good pictures of the family we are right now! I love love love my family- we are not perfect, but nonetheless wonderful.
