Marion

This year we got the privilege to attend Christmas Eve service with Darcy’s grandma Marion. Marion is 83 year old and just recently moved to the area into an assisted living facility. As Marion has been getting older she sure enjoys telling stories of when she was younger. I think Darcy has learned so much about when Marion was little than she ever knew before. We really enjoy getting to spend more time with her now that she is a little closer.

    Gorgeous...what a timeless shot, and perfect in black and white. Hey, could I ask what template you use for your blog? Or did you tweak the html? I like the layout and the big pictures.

    This is a wonderful photo. Makes me think of my great-grandmother who lived to 100 and a few months.

    My favorite part of Christmas Eve is the candle light service. This will be a shot you cherish long after she's gone.
