Family 12 x 12 blog hop March The 2nd Anniversary

Welcome to the 2nd Anniversary of our monthly family photo blog hop!

I can't believe that we have been sharing our photos for 2 years now.... where has the time gone??  Seriously I have loved being part of our small team, I really would encourage everyone and anyone to join us.  Margie always sends a reminder so there is time to get a last minute photo plus if you can only get some of your clan in the shot that is also fine.  Definitions of family vary from person to person and culture to culture so whatever your take is on 'family' is fine by us (yes it does/can include pets though so far my own pics have not included the furry member of our family!)  

I am pleased that I have managed to capture a picture of my husband, son, daughter and me together most months.   I don't really like having my photo taken very much (soooooo unphotogenic!!) so I am rarely in photos, let alone in a picture with all the family.

Margie made a few suggestions about how we could celebrate the anniversary and I did consider showcasing some of my favourite photographs from the last couple if years.  Instead, I have chosen to share 'family' photos from February 2013 as we celebrated my husband's special birthday with some of our nearest and dearest.

up the Shard in London hubby and me on his actual birthday!
So as you can see we did a lot of celebrating which fits nicely with the theme of celebrating the 2nd anniversary.  (I also spent well over an hour trying to find all the Shard and actual birthday photos, I was even trying to recover them from the SD card! I eventually found them mislabeled by me as 2012 not 2013 phew! I was nearly crying as so upset thinking I had deleted them and then was jumping for joy when eventually found them!!!)

Please visit the 2 other participants this month and please consider joining us next month as it really is simple and so worthwhile

  1. A lovely collection of photos :) Looks like you had some great celebrations! I'm relieved your photos were OK - I've had a few scary moments with lost photos, not all of which were recoverable...

  2. Wonderful photos again this month! It is so precious getting extended family photos too. Thanks for sharing. I also love that you got a picture with you and your husband. I'm trying to concentrate on that more this year since we were not taking pictures of just the two of us. And I also noticed since I am so focused on family photos, I am not taking as many of just my three boys! Always so much to think about. And thanks as always for continuing to join me. Although, we are small, it is the support and consistency that I appreciate. Happy anniversary! :)
