thomas family photos–big cottonwood canyon, SLC

This past weekend Dan’s family has pictures taken. It is the first time since before Dan and I were engaged. The family has doubled in size – 2 spouses, 5 grandkids. As much as I feared the whole thing, it turned out quite nice. These are some of the shots I captured. We will get the real photos sometime soon.

PS – I made Abi’s top and skirt and Brookie’s top and Bolero jacket. I was proud of myself for their outfits. AND everything else was thrifted in my family’s outfits at one time or another – except my leopard scarf and Dan’s green shirt…

All of our “nicest” shoes – can you pick everyone’s out… my favorites: Lon’s running sneaker (the photographer tried to hide in every shot), Chase’s pointy Italian shoe, Cam blue shoe, Bookie’s cute foot, Abi’s leopard shoes, and Jenny’s boot (surgery last week).

All B wanted were Grandma’s sunglassesIMG_1802

I think this is the sweetest photo of Lon and Torino as Lon looks on his kids getting their photo taken.

Topped off with a fabulous lunch at Zupas!

balloons

We still have balloons from Abi’s birthday and the girls get at least 30 minutes of joy with them each day… so I have left them alive.

This particular day they enjoyed biting them.

In the meantime, I have blanched and peeled over 400 peaches and sewed skirts, jackets, and tops of various patterns. We have been busy.

Abigail

Yesterday as we were watching President Monson’s Birthday Celebration online, Abi suddenly exclaimed, “President Monson has huge ears!”
