Three's Company...


Of all the pics we took this holiday - opening gifts, decorating the house, getting everything ready for family and friends...it is this picture that means the most to me this holiday season. As I was harried and waiting for guests to arrive, I set the children up with the task of egging and breading the shrimp for our Christmas Eve dinner. I was running around other rooms, doing other things... when I suddenly stopped long enough to hear giggling from the kitchen, jokes flying, and the easy conversation between siblings engrossed in a task together...for me, this moment was the meaning of Christmas...my children finding comfort in each other's company. I grabbed the camera and took a shot of the unsuspecting threesome!

PS--I changed my blog template--what do you think? :0)

Aw Tara, that is so sweet! I find that my two are closer since they have gotten older, and since my son went away to school... and it does make me so happy to see them share laughs together. :)

I LOVE the new template -- it looks amazing! And your photos are wonderful -- so great to see them large. :)

Hi Tara!

I loved this photo! How I wish I had helpers at home as I use to. Children grow up too quickly!

I also like your new blog template! Its crisp and clear and the larger photo is easier to see.

Wishing you and your beautiful family a happy new year filled with many blessings!

Hugs, Pat

How lovely. A loving family is such a blessing and is where the Christmas season should place its focus - how wonderful to see your three children having fun together.
I love your new template. Very clean and easy to use. It is the same one I use on my blog: http://things2dooutside.blogspot.com/

This is a fun photo!

This template is great! I liked when I used it because I could make my photos so much bigger. I miss that. Are you going to make your header photo wider too?

Happy New Year to you and your lovely family!

Hi Tara. How are you? It's so nice to get to visit everyone again. I like your new blog layout. Remember Kodak moments? I think that is what you captured in your photo.
