Family Portrait Party: Isaac
A few weeks ago we devoted a whole evening to a Family Portrait Party! One by one, all seven of us took a turn posing in the middle of the room while the rest of the family circled around and drew the portraits. It was super fun! While none of the portraits are spot on, if you amalgamate them in your minds, a great likeness does jump out. The following seven posts are the results of that wonderful evening activity. We'll start off with Isaac:

Family Portrait Party: Mom
In everyone's defense, Mom was the first one to pose for the Portrait Party... we were still warming up. Dad even threw out his original drawing and redid it later when all the kids were asleep. (Cheater!)
