I’m not quite sure where to start with this post. The Andersons have been such a huge part of our lives for the past 4 years. Justin+Emilie planted Praxis church 6 years ago where Joe + I eventually met. Since then we’ve moved into the same neighborhood and have become great friends. And their daughter Lily, well she’s AMAZING! We adore her and I get so excited every time she sees us and says “Mommy, it’s Stacy + Joe”. Hey, it’s cool when  a 2 1/2 year old acknowledges you! Since all of the “Andersons” were going to be in town for the holidays, Em thought that family photos would make a great Christmas gift for Tim & Sherry (Justin’s parents). So I had the challenge of a lifetime: 17 people at one photo shoot; 4 separate families, 7 children under the age of 4 and two happy grandparents. It was a blast trying to get all the kids to look at the camera and not cry lol. I’d say we were pretty successful! Hope these make you smile :).

Handsome Colin.

Sweet, sweet Lucy.

Look at the eyes on these two!

Such a sweet smile.

I adore this family.

Sweet Lily. You are TOO cute for words.

This is so Anderson-esque.

Such a sweet moment.

Elliot. Your cheeks are beyond amazing!

Shammy & Pops with all their grandkids (2 more on the way)

This one cracks me up. I told them to belly laugh. It doesn’t look forced at all ;)

Ummm I’m dying. This is so sweet.

Tim & Sherry, you rock my socks!

I’ll end with these two that sum up the Anderson crew. Yes, that is my pastor on the right. A-MAZE-ing!
