It was a beautiful---gorgeous---wonderful---fall/winter day...and what better thing to do then to attempt Christmas pictures with the family. Sounded like a great plan...Chris picked the kids up..I had everything ready..change of clothes for them all in the car..camera..tripod..etc...off to the park we go. By the time we got to the park this it the scene we see. Beautiful sunset....yes that's right...sunset! So pictures were FUN!!!! FUN!!!! is that convincing you yet? and on top of that...it the weather was starting to change slightly...a chill.... The beginning pose....trail #1

Pick the kids up..show them some love...getting ready for the FUN STUFF

Mia: "Ahhhhhh"
