Father's Day this year was simple and sweet.
We travelled to my father-in-law's house for a family meal together with Hubby's sisters. The whole fam was there, which happens very rarely! Because my family lives pretty far from me, I have come to appreciate and treasure time with Hubby's fam more and more.
We ate a delicious meal, the kids got to play together, and we caught up a bit.
I had meant to take photos of the entire group, but, of course, I forgot my tripod and the baby's nap schedule through a wrench in my well-intended plans. However, we did get some darling shots of 3 our of 4 cousins...so that is something!
Aren't they precious?

How often do you take family photos?
Do you pay a professional?
Have a friend with a good camera take them?
We have yet to do anything professional, but every year I think we need to to just suck it up and plunk down the cash for it.
Anyway, in case I don't post before then, I hope everyone has an amazing Fourth of July weekend!!!!
LOVE cousin pics!!!!! :) And LOVE cousins who take pics! ;) My cousin is a photographer, and I love supporting family's creative endeavors, so we plunk down the money for family photos and Christmas cards. The spur of the moment family shot is just as memorable though. :)
