Christmas 2018 family photo

Leave a reply

These photos do not show the reality of how this Christmas went. This was a ROUGH one. One I’d LOVE to forget/erase/do over. DO BETTER. It truly sucked. But still. Happy to have these photos even if they are not an accurate representation of how our emotional/mental/physical state was.

Papa and Yaiya/Babushka/ Oma with all their grandchildren to date. All the cousins for this branch of the family tree to date. And a nice group shot with all of us with our lovely matriarch. Love Love Love Grandma Joani. SO beyond happy to have these photos. They are certainly a balm to the crapfest this Christmas turned out to be.  I’m postdating this post 2.5 years after the fact because it’s taken that long to begin healing from events. It was BRUTAL.

Sista time

We got to go hang out and play and visit with this cutie. I don’t know how excited she gets about seeing us, but my big kids are always stoked to see Elizabeth, Papa Scott, and Grammy D.

I just love her. 🙂

This baby had two sister shadows for the entire adventure. Little mother hens.

You can never have too many Papas to love on ya. Jon got right up in the park and played hot lava with the kids. I sat nice and comfy and chatted with Grammy D. 😉 And took photos. Four little monkeys climbed all over for two hours! My boys passed out hard right after lunch. Ronon tried his best to keep up with the big kids. All the love. <3 Such a great family morning.
