Have you ever gotten back from a trip and had such an amazing time, and have so many things to share, but then the rest of the "real" world dumps on you and suddenly the trip you took seems so far away.

You wonder when you are going to find the time to sit down and
write about all those family memories.

You want to just sing out to all of the fun you had.

About the times two sweet little sisters sat and counted the seconds until it was time to pull up the crab rings and hope that this time there was a keeper in it. (There wasn't but we sure had fun throwing back the others)

Of course there were the times that siblings didn't get along, but you would never know from this photo that a second before the photo was taken and a second after there were shouts of "I don't want her sitting next to me" or "No more pictures".

The best part was hanging out with these sweet blue eyes...

or this little sweetheart
(who every night now tells me "You can call me angel if you want to")

or how about this sweet smiling happy face - love it...


I loved sharing a joke with my little guy...


or spending time with my handsome husband - love ya babe!

We loved hanging out with Mimi and Papa...

or getting snuggles from these sweet cheeks...

or playing with my little happy nephew...

or trying to chase down this little sweetie.

Yes I was there too - although I'm not sure how my sister escaped being in a photograph along with her husband. We have to work on getting her out from behind the camera.



Then again if she did we wouldn't have any of these shots.







I do promise to document all the details of the trip - just as soon as life settles down.
How does 2012 look for all of you???
