Kanaka Creek Park Family Photos

As we tackled Kanaka Creek Park family photos on a bitterly cold November afternoon, the sunshine and familial love kept us warm. The siblings are friends, the cousins are friends, the parents are friends. This is what family should be: friends.

Even the crazy goofiness is cute, dontchathink?


And photobombing? It’s an art.

I can only imagine how thrilled Grandma was when she unwrapped these photos as her Christmas gift.  Do you think she cried happy, delighted tears?
