Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from The Valencias! Truth be told, I wanted one of those fancy holiday card photos, but Ricky had other plans. He was determined to wear his alligator costume. After trying to fight it, I surrendered and we all changed clothes to reflect who we really are as a family. Instead of some false picture perfect image, we decided it was best to be ourselves. Afterwards, I said to Ellie, “I’m sorry, I just wanted things to be perfect.” Her response; “Daddy nothing is perfect.” And then I cried because that’s just about as perfect a response as I could have hoped. I love my family. And I love you all! Thank you so much to roncarsonjr for capturing who we really are. God bless you. #merrychristmas #happyholidays #tistheseason #family #familia #nothingisperfect #butthisisclose #sisepuede #thevalencias #weloveatl #babyalligator
