Sparks are flying around the blogosphere again today, as we join in with Alyce, At Home With Books, to showcase our Saturday Snapshots.
Since it’s Christmas Eve, we’re going to see some holiday photos. Like these I’m sharing from Christmases Past.
Here’s one of my four kids in 1988, when we were living in a townhouse in a neighboring city. The tree and the kids congregated in the loft for this shot. The two oldest (2nd & 3rd from left) were home for the holidays from college.
And here’s Christmas three years ago, with six of my grandkids piled into Santa’s Sleigh at the neighborhood mall.
For those of you who have been seeing regular shots of these kids, you can realize what a difference three years can make!
What are the rest of you featuring today? I can’t wait to find out....

I have Christmas photos from over the years framed in Christmas frames. I actually make myself put them away each year after the holidays and am always pleasantly surprised when I see them in the boxes the next year 🙂
