Family.

I've been sorting through old photos and this series makes me laugh.

Organizing family photos is tricky isn't it?! At Christmas time we do a family photo with the dog included and the best shot always ends up being with his backside showing! HA! My Grammy and uncle used to live near me but they moved while I was in junior high and it's been just my nuclear family since then... holidays have been a quiet affair.

And then we got spouses and partners and non-traditional family that consists of hordes of kids and noise and games and chaos (often not controlled). I adore it! I feel such comfort and safety in knowing and being known by people I love and trust. Welcome holiday season! I'm eagerly awaiting you!
