Grandparents
Favorite Things
“Here we see my uncle and grandparents, in a photo taken by my mom. My grandpa (the one with the 3-foot long pointy shirt collar) is happily showing us a centerfold spread from a gentlemen’s magazine while my uncle and grandma display a crochet blanket. My mom told everyone to grab their favorite item from around the house before she took the photo.”

Bottle Service
“When your grandparents own a bar, baby bottles take on a whole new twist. Many of our family photos star the eyes-half-mast bar regulars as a backdrop. It was years before I figured out (most) of them weren’t actually my relatives!”
