The "B" Family

I felt incredibly honored to be able to photograph the "B" family on the day of their special Christmas celebration.  I've known this family for many years and spent a fair bit of time hanging out with the three boys when they were younger, as their babysitter.  We figured it was at least 20 years ago and now they are all grown up and have kids of their own.  I have such fond memories of fun times spent playing floor hockey, reading stories and exploring outside.  I have not-so-fond memories of being chased by a dead mouse but I've gotten over that by now.....almost!  It was so great to spend time with the new kids in the family.  They were equally as fun as their Dads were when they were younger!  My favorite moment was when all the kids were gathered round the tree, looking at the presents and wondering which one would be for them.  The sweetest part was that "C" brought gifts of his own to give.  Things from his home that he wrapped up in brown paper bags and carefully labelled with a crayon.  It is so special to see Christmas through the eyes of a child!  Thanks for letting me spend such a great morning with you.....and for leaving the dead mice outside!
