You did this so well! All the details -- from the newspaper headline that contextualizes the setting to priceless expressions on the boys' faces. You're lucky to have a cooperative family! Oh, and the processing works beautifully for implying the nostalgic feel of the past.
Oooooh I love Christmas Story and I love that you recreated it!!! This is so well seen and even the lighting is old-timey. :) So wonderful! Your family make it perfect AND since you're taking the photo, you're not at the table and we all know the mom hadn't eaten a hot meal in 15 years so ;) perfect. (Also: Bonne Maman is our favorite jam at home :))
@kerosene Awwww... that's one of those nice days when Caroline stops by and leaves a bunch of nice comments! :) Hope you are doing well. Thanks! - and re: Bonne Maman - that is basically the ONLY jam brand that they would eat. Put anything else on the table, and the question would be "but do we have any of the yummy jam?" :)
