“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime.” ― Laura Ingalls Wilder
This is Trevor and my first family Christmas photo with my adult children. Unfortunately, my daughter has been absent. I chose the colors blue and beige for the theme color this year. It's not my regular color, and I definitely prefer red, but I figure nobody wants Christmas colors in frames all year long. Blue is less "Christmassy" and can be viewed all year. Our initial spot to be photographed was by reservation only (I did not know this), and then our second location was extremely sunny, so rather than keep trying for a better place, we decided we would get something to eat first.
After brunch, we found a different location in a building with Spanish architecture, and thought that it was amazing enough to try for a good photo.
So, this is the best photo of the bunch and will be used in Christmas cards this year.
My sons have gotten so grown up, and I am so happy to have been able to document the holidays over the years.
