Family Picture Flashback

We got a present in the mail from Alycia--our family pictures from Christmas! Yay!!! So I have to interrupt the current postings for a little flashback, because these are too good to miss.

We went out to take these pictures on New Year's Day. It was one of the coldest days of the whole winter, so we had a very narrow window of time to get it done before we all froze to death. Add on top of that the fact that half of us had the flu, Alycia had her appendix removed only days before, and the sheer number of people involved (three of whom were small children who don't like to look at the camera when told)...it is absolutely amazing that Alycia got all of these great pictures. So here we are: the Hinton Family!

Carlton and Becky

Myself, Ashton, and Tyler

Ashton, who decided to sit in the snow for his moment.

Why so sad?

That's better!

(My favorite! Love, love, LOVE that face!)

Gabe, Carter, Alycia, and Preston

Royce

Bryant

Grandpa and Grandma with their handsome grandsons

And the most random of the bunch...the German soldiers. From what I understand, Royce has long been interested with German soldiers and WWII. His uniform (far left) is an actual Nazi uniform from WWII. The other two are reproductions. Pretty interesting. And spooky.

And that's all of them! Well, actually these are just my favorites--there were many, many more than this. Pretty good for only being there a half an hour, eh? Like I said, Alycia is amazing. If you are anywhere near Seattle, you should definitely use her for all of your pictures! You can see lots more of her stuff at her blog: puzzlepiecephotography.com/blog. Thanks Alycia, we miss you!!!
