Family Photos 2011

As a disclaimer: These are not the photos we had printed as not to spoil our Christmas letter/cards this year.

The Portrait Innovations in Provo closed down sometime this summer. I liked that when it wasn't really busy they had one person dedicated to making the kids laugh. Nevertheless, the girl (photographer) at JCPenney's did a good job tonight at getting James to smile. The older two knew they were getting M&Ms for good smiles.

Alexander said he felt sick in the car on the way there. Ryan and James were pukey (technical term) on Monday. I had it on Weds. We were hoping Alexander hadn't caught the bug, but right after these photos, Alexander again said he felt sick and started gagging. Ryan asked for a trash can, but not quick enough. We thought about ending the session there, but Alexander said he felt fine and the photographer called someone in to clean up the vomit and moved us to the other room. This is the only photo where you can see the throw-up on my leg. I'm sure the smell wasn't very appealing to the two families that came after us. Alexander was worried he wouldn't get any more M&Ms (He still had the one in his hand from before when he threw up), but once we resolved that issue, he was fine and even ate a hamburger when we got home... so he can't be too sick.
I am normally very reserved and  prefer conservative photos, but we registered for the Santa Run 5K (costumes included) and wanted to get more than one use out of the costumes.
