before and shortly after ~ memories


 


Before...


 Happy, family Christmas Eve picture lots of years ago.
Look at those smiles.
Look at Bubba's cheeks, so round and rosy.
Lucy and Harry have big, gorgeous, Hollywood smiles.
Jake is a little bit pensive.
He's kinda neutral.
It's like he is saying,
"I really want this picture-taking thing to be over soon."
On the other hand,
Eli,
in his Granddaddy's lap, 
is starting to break.
 You can see it in his eyes.
"I'm done with this!"

After...


Bubba and I are pretending we are loving this Hissy Fit by Eli.
Lucy and Harry are still having the time of their life.
Jake is looking away from the camera.
He has covered his mouth in shame. 
He is planning his escape.
Eli has let loose with his frustration. 
He wants everyone to know that he is done with this photo session.
It's way past time to take that boy home.

😭

I 💗 Christmas memories.
