Allen Family Pictures

Dave's brother, James, is an AMAZING photographer, and we were lucky enough to have him take our family pictures this year. He textured them and printed them on canvases that we hung on our really big wall in the dining room. I'm not bragging or anything because the skill was all James, but they look AWESOME! The color and texture of them are unbelievable! Thanks for all your hard work James!

Trying to get the whole wall, but it doesn't do it justice.On a side note, look at those pancakes! I was having an over-achieving morning...The pumpkin is frowning because Maddy was being a toot.

Another funny story: Mason, Brooklyn and I played Monopoly one day. (Very frustrating game, especially if you never land on any properties, only railroads and chance) Dawson saw the Jail space and said, "Why is he sad?" I explained that he was frowning because he was in jail, and he replied, "Oh, he didn't wear his seatbelt." In his mind, no seatbelt= jail, and I am not going to correct him otherwise. Really cute!
