They are wonderful family, all Democrats and liberal besides! Great conversationalists too.

And the desserts were to die for!

That was a smart use of the mirror for the family portrait. You'd fit only a few faces in the frame in selfie mode.

The first time I saw that mirror, I knew that would be how I'd get a group photo! It really simplifies things.

Have a great Christmas!

Well, the house is on the West coast, so that explains the kitchen cabinets!

It's a beautiful place. The Channel Island photo was taken from that house.

It took me a tiny moment to realize what you really saying about the fourth photo!

We were having a great time, and all the pup wanted to do right then was sleep!

Perfect opportunity for a pun that I couldn't pass up but -- what is that puzzle? Is there some significance to it for holiday celebrations?

I'm no damn good at solving puzzles but I do enjoy photographing them. So that's what I did.

It was part of a recent Christmas Day. That's its significance.

And thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. It’s always such a joy to see all of you with your smiling faces!

Was the pupper overwhelmed from all the excitement? Looks like he needed a nap!

This group photo has become a family tradition! It's a great way to celebrate our unity.

The pup was having a great time, getting all the pats and love from everyone there! Sooner or later, he did need a nap, and he got one!
