New Year's Eve

In God's providence, New Year's Eve happened to fall on one of our Bible study nights, so our group decided to make a bigger ado than usual (spending more time visiting, having lots more food, etc.)

Mrs. Alexander thought this would be a perfect time to get some portraits of their family, and asked us to help (we were more than happy to comply :)

Mother and Daughter (Our family also took advantage of this picture-taking opportunity :)


Britt-Ann

(While I did not get a portrait of every member in the Alexander family, I did get a few, and am posting my personal favorite shots of each.)

It looks like I was a bit too distracted with the fellowship to keep up with my camera...ah, well. We always have the memories :)

*Compliments to Mrs. Alexander. There are other pictures in this post taken by the Alexanders, but having combined their and my pictures, I am not sure which are theirs and which are mine :)
