I wanted to share one of my favorite all time gifts. I received it this Christmas from my six children. Not only was it homemade, but it was creative and showcased my favorite treasures.
My kids created a framed chicken wire photo display. My sister in law happened to have the frame "laying" around (our family can be like that) my father in law brought his left over chicken wire down from the mountains and my sister in law arranged a secret photo session where she took the pictures of my kids. Here's some of my favorite pictures from the shoot. (Sorry about the quality- but a picture of a picture is all I could get)
I think my girls look like they're part of an Abercrombie ad here. These were all taken in downtown Gilbert, Arizona.
Even the baby sported a bandana for their "homies" pose.
My 21 year old who is recently sporting the look of someone in love. (She's met a really neat guy)
My 18 year old who will graduate this year with over a 4.0 and leave us to explore the world and attend college.
My 13 year old who will soon be filling the shoes of "oldest" sister at home. She's loving and helpful and such a great role model to her sisters.
My 12 year old who has really grown up this past year and always entertains us with her sense of humor.
My 7 year old who will be baptized this year and is so ready to take that step.
My baby who will turn 2 this month and won't be a "baby" for much longer. Needless to say this is one of the best gifts I've ever received. This will be a year of change in our home. I'm so grateful for my beautiful family. Love, Kelly.
