post christmas drizzle

when this family asked me to come on boxing day morning, i thought "wow.  sacrificing all those great post-christmas deals to honor mom's request for a family picture and come together in love and unity".  can i get a collective "awwwww"?  turns out it was the only time over the whole christmas break where they could all fit an hour in between work, birthday parties and other family gatherings.  but what an hour they picked!  what was supposed to be a soggy sunday morning turned out to be a very overcast sunday morning and we were gifted with about a half an hour of clear before it started to pour!  which gave us just enough time to get these:

check out these eyes!

these two cuties have been married for ten years and still have quite the spark...the rest of the family suggested they get a room.  clearly they already have :)

thanks for braving the elements with me, ritchies!
