family time.

christmas time has always been family time for me. this year will be different since both my grandmas are no longer with us - but that doesn't mean I will forget them. being at my parents house these days - I have been looking for more old family photographs and I have found some I have never seen before.

• nonna Ebe and nonno Dino in their beautiful garden:

these pictures were all taken by my dad in 1968 - when he was 18 years old.

• nonna Ebe and nonno Dino's home with my dad's first car:

the first of the batch is a blow up - the others were still taken in 1968 but with a different camera.

• my dad as a boy:

two of the best photos I have ever found of my dad - in my opinion.

the ones I have uploaded here are just a few of the photographs I have found: I have many more to look at during my family Christmas time.
♥ Christmas with my family is one of the best time of the year - I hope you are having a lovely family Christmas time too!
