It’s been a few years since we’ve done big family pictures with my side of the family. Ian was just a little guy in the last pictures and Andrew and Matthew weren’t even born yet. As a result, we thought we’d tempt the fates and get some new pictures taken. Ian actually cooperated a lot better than he did a few weeks ago and we got several good shots.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Not so much of a flashback as it is a peak into my life today. This is how we’ve spent much of the day. Ian’s having a hard time dealing with the lack of sleep and sensory overload that comes along with Christmas.

Aunt Rachel and Nick were VERY generous and got the Samulski family a Nintendo Wii.

Guess who thinks he’s a golfing all-star?!?!?
