family photos~

For the past 28 years we have had a family Christmas photo for our Christmas card. I know that family, friends, and those people I haven't seen in 28 years but have kept up with, have looked forward to my annual holiday update.

There have been some good years... and some not so good years. But~ there was one thing that is consistent... we were together, we were smiling, and the picture that was in the card was always best of ME.

This year the simple family photo has become impossible. Brooke has up and moved to Charlotte, Rob is in his 3rd year of the 6 year art degree, and I have started to look like a chubby Bridget Jones.

So~ I created my own happy holiday photo.
My goal for 2009? All I want is one smiling family photo.
Merry Christmas y'all!
