I'm thankful for...

My family...

I don't think I will ever be as excited about family pictures as I used to be. I feel like the end result only shows that we are missing a big part of our family. But, I can't just quit taking pictures.
This year we went a different route than in years past. We didn't do the nature thing. I wasn't as thrilled about these pictures as I have been with other pictures, but there is no way I will drag the family out again, so they will have to do.
We took our Sam bear with us so we could have something to show for our angel baby.
Here we are...















Next year will find us with a bear and a baby to hold. That should be fun. I sure do love my little family. It's my mom's birthday today and it was my parent's anniversary on the 20th of this month. That whole day I was thinking that I sure was glad that my mom married my dad. They are both such good people and made the best parents a girl like me could ever ask for. I feel blessed to have found Mike and to have had such beautiful children. I look at these pictures and know that I am grateful for the sealing power of the temple. We are together forever. What more could I ask for?

Those came out super cute. I like the top one the best. Everyone looks really happy. And I like the individual pictures of the kids.

Love your pictures Sue! The orange and blue reminded me of my favorite football team, BSU. I'm sad today because they lost last night.

You're crazy because I think all those pictures are awesome! I especially love the Sam bear. What a wonderful idea. Also, I am very grateful for your parents because they have always been amazing examples to me. I've always wished I could have had a dad like yours. He was kind, caring, loving, funny, patient, smart, creative, and so involved with guys. You were one lucky kid and your mom was one lucky wife. I am grateful your mom and dad are sealed and will be together forever!
