A few snippets of my last day of 2011.
I only make one face during my outfit shots. So be prepared for what you're about to see. I make faces, a lot of them. And I'm sharing it all with you now...
We decided to set up 2 cameras for our family portrait. I love the different perspectives. Maybe we'll go for 3 cameras this year.
My brother has disowned me at this point.
Exchange gifts!!! Nobody's too old for this...
Cousins!!!
These are my people.
No matter what we go through, what trials we face, our losses, our gains...these are the people I start and end the year with. If there is one thing that my mother taught us well, it's the importance of family. These are the people that will continually love you whoever you become, whatever you do and wherever you go.
And the previous year was a true testament of that unbreakable bond. During the many trying times including when my Dad needed brain surgery, these people were our support system. (And they're from my mother's side of the family.) I can't even begin to thank them. It was the year that made us stronger and closer to each other.
Keeping my fingers crossed that 2012, we'll be complete. "Pau...you better be here!!!"
And hopefully 20 years from now, we'd still be celebrating every New Years Eve together. Just with a few more additions to the family.
