Democracy in Action

Every year my mother sends out a Christmas postcard featuring a sepia-toned photo of the entire family. Usually we take the photo in Maine at Thanksgiving, while the family is together. This year, we took the photo at my first big party on Grant & Washington.

We all lined up in the kitchen and on my front stoop. Hilarity ensued. Both locations encouraged cute posing."Stand in front of your spouses! My friends get confused," cried my mother.

So we are lucky, we have an abundance of good photos. I especially love the outside one -- look at those snowflakes! It is a documentation of our first real snowfall. But I think my mom is going to choose the kitchen photo, which works well on a postcard size.
