Last year we looked a bit chilly in our pictures, so this year I made sure to pick warmer clothes and coordinating hats for us to wear. Poor Wyatt did not get a hat though because I thought it would be too much for all three to be wearing them. He had on the warmest sweater so I hoped that he would be okay. We started out with the kids at the hot cocoa stand. The first few pictures are just of the boys because Charlotte refused to participate. We had to bribe her with promises of a new baby doll to get to do it. She's the most stubborn and also the most clever. She knows how to work it. I will say the brother pictures turned out especially cute, so I'm glad we did them. All the pictures turned out better than I had hoped.
They all had perfect smiles for their individuals too. At this point, the cold air wasn't affecting us much as we were under a pavilion.
Next we did some family pictures by the barn.
And then a couple with a wooden sled. Charlotte told me afterwards that she was squished during this photo. Funny enough, as I was typing this (two months later) she walked up and told me about being squished again. She doesn't forget a thing!
The kids posed with the sled without us too. Happily for Charlotte, she wasn't squished in this one.
Finally, the kids posed with a lantern. Wyatt was getting a little cold at this point, so we had to have him jump in place a few times to warm up his smile. Poor guy. He got lots of extra snuggles afterwards.
