Uncles, Aunts, & Cousins
Shady Santa
“Growing up, we celebrated Christmas Eve at my grandmother’s house and Santa always showed up. I’m not sure where this one came from but I remember thinking how odd he seemed…”

Artichoked Up
“Our family is Italian and proud of our heritage. One of our favorite traditions has always been having stuffed artichokes on special occasions. When my first daughter was born we decided to take a family picture with the newest addition to the family with my cousins. While deciding on outfits one of us suggested we should all hold an artichoke…And for some reason the rest of us agreed it would be a fantastic idea! I think it’s clear from the photo that my daughter was the only one who found it a little odd.”

I Fold
“This was taken after church one Saturday. My parents look like they don’t want to be there. My Uncle looks like he’s surprised to be there, (which might explain why he’s holding a folder), and me and my brother are just there.”

Trampoline DIY
“Sydney Australia, when I was about five or six, at my aunties house and my mum still insists she was watching me. Nothing broken that couldn’t be bodged up by an uncle!”
