Some of you know our family went on vacay to Cancun, Mexico in early December. It was long overdue since the last few years have been a struggle with Entrepreneur’s brain surgery, recovery and chemo schedule. A 90-day reprieve from chemo allowed him to enjoy the holidays and this much-needed getaway with those he loves most.
While I, personally, took gigabytes of photos, we contacted the photographers that took our family photos in 2015. Surprisingly, they remembered us and we spent more than two hours on the beach capturing family memories.
Of course, we had many obligatory, formal poses of everyone and individual family units.
Once those were finished, well…..the “adult children” had a little fun with the photographers. And, judging by the laughter while shooting the photos, I think the photographers had a lot of fun with them. Hope these make you giggle a bit. All of these were spontaneous poses with no pre-planning what so ever.
Who is Daddy’s favorite?
Appropriate or Inappropriate?
These engaged lovebirds can play to the camera better than anyone I know……
…..and this sequence with the newlyweds made everyone laugh. First we have a lovely shot and very “appropriate.”
Then, it goes downhill from there….literally.
As you can tell, there is no shortage of entertainment when we get together. I’m linking up with Thankful Thursday over at Brian’s Home today because words cannot capture how thankful and grateful I am Entrepreneur was able to eat and drink his way through Cancun for a week. I’m grateful we were able to all be together to relax and decompress from life’s stress. And, I’m thankful we’ve been able to financially make this happen. No one knows the future. We may all be together for another updated photo in a few years….or not. This year could be a banner year for us…or it might hold devastating events.
But, whatever 2019 holds, these memories will live forever in my heart, and a few on the walls of our home!
Such a lovely post, i am so happy for you that you had that time together. My hope is you get a lot more fun times like it!

Lisa, I adore each and everyone of these photographs, they’re faaaaaaaabulous! However, my very favorite is the one of you and Entrepreneur because it’s filled with so much love!
The final one of your daughter and her husband on the beach instantly reminded me of the movie poster for the movie, “From Here To Eternity”, with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.
So happy that you were able to spend this time with your family. The joy and laughter you all shared is so evident in these pictures.
Have a fantastic weekend, my friend! 🙂
