While moments build memories, pictures capture those moments and they will forever be stamped in time. Makes me wish I had taken more pictures, but I’m thankful for the ones we do have.

Christmas spent with family = priceless.

And taking family pictures turns out to be a lot of fun. This is our “normal” family and that makes me happy.

My Pop, he’s the kind of guy who can do just about anything. He’s good at what he does and doing something half way would never occur to him. He’s taught me a lot and I do take after him in many ways. I’m known to be a “little” fussy when it comes to some things. I wonder who I got that from?

I come from a family who loves to laugh. And there will always be someone to fill the bill, like my nephew. Who by the way, takes after his father, aka my brother who takes after our pop.

Niece and nephew

Are they cute or what?

He’s a charmer no doubt. And I love his funny side.

My little brother with his family. We missed their other daughter (she’s out of the country doing her calling.)

My brother and his beautiful wife. We truly enjoyed our visit with them.

Nephew using his sister for some added weight for his squats.

Having fun…

Air…

A lot of air.

And I leave with this black and white of my niece and nephew

While we enjoyed our holidays with family, it came to an end. It was time to pack up our stuff in “Sunny South Florida” and head to “Sunny Southern California.”

We’ve finally settled down after our trip and we’re getting back into the swing of things. While 2013 is well underway, I’m thankful for the wonderful times and memories we made.
