Reclaiming Wonders
A young blonde woman wearing a purple jacket is holding a baby close to her, seemingly trying to keep the baby from squirming or escaping. The scene takes place in an indoor setting with a bright red doorway framed by white trim, giving it the appearance of a playhouse or toy store entrance. On either side of the red door are large, colorful nutcracker soldier figures standing guard. The woman and baby appear to be in the midst of a playful struggle or interaction, with the woman's expression conveying a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Playful Moment with the Nutcracker Guards

It’s good to see these pictures. Not just the “happy, pretend we’re always best friends” pictures. Rather, the “I want to take a picture all by myself” fights that seemed so important at the time. Not a cute pretend fight picture but a fight to the death to take the picture next to the giant Nutcracker. Just another real life moment brought to you by our not-so-perfect family. Because only when you’re best friends in real life, can you be best friends again five seconds later... while your parents are still wondering how many people were watching ;)
