in my humble opinion, the best thing about this time of year is the way families come together. one of the sweetest perks of our job is getting to share some of that family time with new people, like the cool crew you see here! well, not exactly new people. only one of them was “new” in the true sense of the word. (she’s the little one, in case you’re wondering.) but new to us. and now it’s hard for eileen and me to imagine what this Christmas would have been like without them.

the three campbell kids and their significant others are separated by a long distance most of the year — from washington state to georgia. but to watch their warm interactions, it’s clear they’re as close as ever. thanks for letting us share in your holiday cheer, you guys. it’s certainly contagious!

and to everyone else out there, merry Christmas to you, too. enjoy it!

who could resist that baby face? this kiddo was such a cutie. always smiling. (she must have already figured out that santa’s on his way.)

remember the game “one of these things is not like the other?” well, let’s just say when it came to electing black dress shoes for the family photo shoot, adam didn’t get the memo. and we all had fun giving him a hard time about it. (actually, i thought his kicks were great! the red and green were very festive.) 😉
