Family Tree

As I was putting away the Christmas decorations this year, I took a few pictures. This is of a small tree I put together in 1996, after the last of my eleven nieces and nephews was born, when we totaled twenty-three family members. Hanging on the tree are pictures of my parents, their five kids and their families. I made a tree for my parents and one for each of my siblings and for me. I love seeing the pictures again each year when this little tree comes out of storage.

And now it needs updating: my oldest niece has married and has two little boys.
