You guys....grandparents loving on their grandkids, sisters being goofy and lovey, aunts and uncles showering kiddos with love, gathered around the fire pit in the backyard, family traditions, travel....this is the good stuff holidays are made of. As I'm anxiously awaiting to be reunited with my family for the holiday, these pic just warm my heart. So thankful to the Thayer clan for making these family photos a priority—and to think it only took about 45 minutes right in their own back yard—perfect!
