Thanksgiving 2016

We had a lovely time hosting family for Thanksgiving this year.  There was lots of yummy food, football, and fun!  Now it's full steam ahead to Christmas!

I tried my hand at taking our own family portrait for our Christmas card this year.  Unfortunately, while the plan would have worked wonderfully had the sun cooperated, things did not go as planned and I had to try to work with super cloudy weather.  There is more shadow than I would like, but it was neat to experiment with my camera's wifi feature to remote trigger the camera with my cell phone.  It allowed me to see how everyone looked before taking the shot so that we had all eyes on the camera with great smiles.  Next year I'll have to try to get ahead of the game and take this picture before the time change so we can be outside in the golden hour.
