Family time during the holidays [Family Pictures and Parenting]
Uploaded: December 14, 2011 04:28:08
Posted this last December for the MT "Things we want", where I stated that I wanted: to be able to stop and enjoy some time with family. Was a POTD on BetterPhoto right around Christmas time, for which I was very honored. I would like to use this image as my statement on the Family MT, again this time of year, as we tend to concentrate on "things" during the coming holidays. It's the little things done, a touch, a hug, holding hands to show we care, that make a difference in the lives of those around us.
