Christmas Family Photo on Railroad Tracks #poolerga #tomtriplettpark

love this, aside from the train tracks - though it does make a good scene, I wouldn't appreciate the "jokes" that might come along with it! haha, a different background for me. but so cute!

Adorable family + awesome evening light = LOOOOVE
