Meet my family.
Sure, that clean faced kid in the suspenders is a tad older. . . he’s my dad, and that’s my aunt, and standing tall and proud behind their children are my grandparents.
That’s their life, long ago.
Under twinkling lights, I think of family with me today, and I think of family and friends with me in memories.
I breathe deeply. Grateful.
And I savor the anticipation of a tiny baby that would change the world forever.
Merry Christmas, friends.

Ah, Merry Christmas to you, too, dear Amy!
What a wonderful photo - I love that you have it! I'm not sure I've ever seen any photos of my parent's family Christmas cards and I would treasure them now. Good food for thought.
Have a blessed season - I'm so thankful that God crossed our paths through the blogosphere!
