Christmas
‘Tis The Season
“‘Dad! The dogs are hugging!’ Rowdy, the Beagle, is a boy dog. Buttercup, the randy black Whippet, is a girl dog. No puppies for Christmas.”

A Mighty Wind
It was crazy windy and this was the only day to take our yearly Christmas pictures that fit our busy schedule. My husband is trying to hold our 1 year old as he’s wiggling around kicking his legs and knocking our middle child in the head causing him to scream. I am trying to keep calm while I’m holding him with a half smile on my face. While our oldest son is waiting patiently for our family photographer to say, ‘Cheese!’ Needless to say, this picture did make it on the Christmas card and everyone loved it!

The Gift
“Just found this gem. My second child pulled down my shirt at just the right moment for this photo, giving the elf photographer a little more than he bargained for!”

Timing Is Everything
“She gets her grace from her mama! She wanted to pose in front of the tree…on the slippery leather arm of the couch…I managed to get one shot!”

Matchy Matchy Matchy
“My mom and me, winter of 1981. The matching PJ’s were on purpose. My grandfather made them for us. The fact that the clothing also matched that chair (in my other grandparents’ house)? That part was apparently a coincidence.”

Taking The Plunge
“My brother is wearing my headband and we’re both eating Ring Pops. It looks like we’re dressed up for the Christmas Eve service. And Dad….? Dad passed away last Christmas, but his plunger will live on forever.”

Different Strokes
“My family posed for this shot when I was 4 or 5. I’m front and center. I laughed so hard when I rediscovered this photo. I love how we are all looking different directions.”

Bows Of Farley

Smashing Christmas
“My Grandma got so smashed at dinner that she fell into the Christmas tree. She’s a sprightly older lady and she can handle her drink (she’d actually had something near 4 bottles of wine AND sherry) then she fell over backwards into the tree and was laughing hysterically. We pulled her out of the tree and put her to bed. The next day she came over, singing songs and eating good food, and she was highly embarrassed about being smashed.”
