Home for the Holidays

Christmas is fun, but it becomes joyfully magical when a baby is near! Everything is so new and exciting to a child. That joy spreads through the family and the Christmas holiday is filled with giggles, bursts of laughter, shouts of fun and a jungle gym of wrapping paper all over the floor.

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.
