The Beaty Families

My sister-in-law Amy had a great idea for a Christmas gift for the Beaty grandparents this year! She arranged to have a photographer friend take pictures of our families together when we were together in September.

Jake & Jennifer Beaty & 3 sons, daughter, and just starting to show

 

Jake and I only recently got copies of the pictures (after they were given, since they were a gift...), which is why I'm just now posting them. Sophia was so much smaller! This was the day before she turned 11 months.

I remember it being a bit of a challenging time getting any good pictures, with six energetic boys, an un-napped baby, and cooler temperatures than we Bolivians are used to, so I'm pretty impressed at how cute they turned out!  

 Six princes (or soldiers, as my boys like to call themselves) and a princess :)

 Everyone loves playing with Sophia!

 

This was only a few days after the cousins met for the first time
but they really hit it off with each other!

So much fun!
