merry + bright

going home for Christmas is as nostalgic as it seems and i believe more so with age.

 

this year we traveled to louisiana and the closer we got, the more we talked about the good food we would eat and the collective noise we'd share with ten kids under the age of ten and nine adults.

all was merry + bright!
