Thanksgiving at the Willoughby's

I love Thanksgiving and we had a really wonderful day at my mom and dad's!

We have so much to be thankful for!

And I got to play with my camera in the afternoon (after our bellies were full of very yummy food)!

I got to take a few pictures of Josh and Joy's family...

Here's a few of all the grandkids... 

This one just cracks me up!  I just don't think Will is big enough to hide Uncle Josh in the picture! :) 

So, plan B...  I love this one! 

Then I got to take some individual pictures of my nieces and nephews...

Here are my sister's kids... 

And my brother's son... 

I love these pictures of my mom and dad! 

Josh and Joy 

Robin and Grant 

I handed my camera over to Grant and he was sweet to take some pictures of me and John, too... 

And of me and my siblings... 

Our funny moment...  these are probably my most favorite pictures of me and my siblings from our whole life!  Watch as it gets funnier and funnier... 

I'm the clueless sister... 

My brother just has to be goofy! 

Love you guys!

Thanks for a great day!



Practicing Pictures

I'm having a blast with my camera!

And still learning...  here are my favorite shots from today's practicing...

Wow, he REALLY looks like John's teenage pictures! 

These are my favorite pictures from a couple days ago...



Photography Practice

I'm learning to shoot my camera in MANUAL!

WOOHOO!

I never thought I would be able to do that at all...  but I'm learning. 

Hopefully my pictures will get better.  It's fun to practice.  My precious kiddos agreed to be subjects for me to practice on.  Especially if they could carry a toy gun and pose for "military" shots or make goofy faces. :)  So, that's what we did.  Josiah didn't want to do pictures, but I got one of his handsome face anyway. 

I love Shep's hands in this picture... 

Saw these guys driving by on the tractor... 

This one is probably my favorite! 

I can't wait to practice some more!  I'd love to try to get some of the three boys together...  like a real portrait shot.  Maybe after the play when they can get their hair trimmed again. :)
