New Family Pics
















Last week we ventured out to the Mesa Arts Center to have our pictures done with my sister in laws family. It was a fun time if you consider that McKenna wanted nothing to do with any of it and Chris was annoyed because the photographer wouldn't tell us when she was going to take the picture. She definitly went more for the random shots. There were a few that I liked out of probably 200 photos and she did make us a beautiful Christmas Card. I don't know if they would have turned out better under other circumstances-McKenna could just care less about pictures right now.

Your family pics are so cute! Let me tell ya, it doesn't get much easier as they get older for a cute picture. Katie now does this weird smile with her lower jaw out front. Weird! Oh, and yes I did take the picture of the temple on my blog. I know that my picture taking skills are totally cool...NOT! I am sure I just got lucky. I miss you too my friend!!

Very cute pictures. I think family pictures are hard, but it looks like you guys got some cute ones. I agree with you about Marci, I am not sure when she gets back. I will try calling too.

Stinker! I just realized that you were totally making fun of me in your last comment. Yes, there is a reflecting pook!! Yeah, I had no idea that I made the error until Tom pointed it out to me. I wrote it early in the morning, that is my excuse! You are too funny there lady!:)

I am so glad you found me! I love connecting with everyone through the blogs. I can't believe how blonde your little girl is, I CAN however believe how cute she is!! ADORABLE! So where are you guys at these days? What are you up to? Are you able to stay at home now? That was a big but GREAT change for us when we moved out here to Marana. Email me if you want! ckcarbon at msn dot com. Miss you guys! let's keep in touch,

Melissa!
Yay! Isn't that the great thing about blogs--you can connect with all these people again. We'd been wondering about you guys and how you were doing. Every so often we'd say, "We really need to get back in touch with the Braeggers," but we were at a loss as to how to do it. So this is great! It was so fun to see McKenna all grown up--wow, she is a raving beauty! And where did that blonde hair come from?? Is Chris liking his job? I love staying at home. Jared has never really liked pharmacy, but he's doing his best to have a good attitude. He's working at a children's hospital in Salt Lake.
Okay! sorry so long. Send me your e-mail and we can keep in touch that way too!
Love, Michelle

I love your family pics! You look so beautiful. The one of Kenna at the top is perfect. You guys are such a cute family.

Okay. I totally read your comment that you wrote on Jeni's, about the reflection pook.... I didn't even realize that you messed it up on purpose, to tease Jeni. I just thought you have been very uneducated on the SLC Temple!! I was laughing when I read Jeni's reply comment to you.... you are hilarious!! ;) And tricky, too.

We should get together sometime to hang out or something.... it would be fun!

Melissa... yes, i took that pic {can't you tell by how unprofessional it is?? haha} and put it in a Kodak frame... that is not our christmas card for this year, though. i just made that for fun. our card is one of the costco templates {saved so much more $$ than Kodak, and the clarity was a lot better, too...} ours are green with 3 individual pics of the kids... i will post that one, too. let's party after the new year!! ;)
