Every moment.Every smile.
Every laugh.
Every party, race, play, occasion.
It's all saved. The many volumes of photos at my parents house are living proof that I am loved by my family and of how many wonderful times we've had together.
But the ultimate test of family love - that we pass with flying colors every year - is the Christmas card photo.
The Baumerts have been visited by corn angels, had a child become an angel, have had elves enter their house and have sung carols while their puppy played the piano. Every year is unique and special. Even as Em and I have gone to college and continue to travel and work, we always know that around fall, we need to make time for next years card.
It's just something that we do - something that is ingrained in our mind. Something special.
It's our own family magic.
