Family Portrait

Every 10 years (well about 5 years now) we get our family picture done with my dad's side of the family. We have always taken these pictures at a Unitarian "compound" in KC. Don't worry - we are making no contribution to the Unitarian church (had to get that in there) - just going there strictly for the look. ;-).
It is so fun to see how large our family has become. So many little ones. Definitely makes it harder to get a good shot for the photographer. We couldn't get all the kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time. Thank God for photoshop that lets you crop and paste heads!
Our trip was very short. I had to shoot a reception (see below) so we weren't able to leave until Sat. morning and come back Sun. afternoon. We did get to go to the plaza and do a little shopping and eating which was a lot of fun. It's amazing how excited I get now about seeing real shops and restaurants! Living in a small town definitely makes you appreciate things more!
I will post more pictures later of KC soon -
