A Family Fun Weekend

 Two weeks ago my family headed back home for Emersyn's baptism.  We also used this as a fun opportunity to take a few family photos.  My parents live out in the country and the surroundings are just too pretty not to capture.   One thing we learned from this little session... none of us are photographers by any means!!  HAHA- pay a professional!! We have funny lighting issues and they just aren't up to the professional standards.  But oh well- they were fun, free, and just for our use of Christmas cards or a photo to send to grandma!  Here are some of my favorite...

The set up was in front of an old barn with an old family quilt and a few other Christmas touches.

This is literally their backyard!  Love living in Indy but miss this at times!

Someone was obviously not taking this photo session seriously!

My sister Jessica and her husband John.

My brother Aaron and his wife Stefani.

After a little family fun outside, we changed for Emersyn's baptism service.  We were lucky to have my whole family there and Ian's family drove to attend as well.  Emersyn was too funny during the whole thing!  Very unsure of what was happening, pushed Father's hand away as he tried to bless her with the oil, and cried while the water was poured on her head.  It was still a very special day for her and us.

Time with family is really something I cherish and continue to be thankful for each and every day!
