This family didnโt have a camera timer and wanted to include everyone, so they got creative with a mirror.
Hilarious and charming!

They still managed to put on the same clothes that day when they were reunited.

Itโs important to raise your boys to be just as loving as girls.

You can always count on family to be there to celebrate your biggest moments.

This looks like one proud father/grandfather/great-grandfather!

18. Fun filter family
The poster says of this pic: โThis is my wonderful mother trying her hand at filters. This past year she had her second heart attack. We try to talk at least every few days so I can check on my parents and know theyโre doing alright.โ
Itโs important to keep your sense of humor!
19. Same as it ever was
Some things never change โ like the love of a father for his daughter.
This is such an adorable set of photos โ and my how sheโs grown!

21. Silly sisters
These sisters adorably re-created a childhood photo right down to the looks on their faces.

Itโs nice to know that some kids really do appreciate all the trouble their parents go through to make the holidays special.

We love a photo re-do with a sense of humor. Not much has changed in this family except that a couple of years will change your favorite beverage.

Itโs always incredible to see 5 generations together. Not all of us are so lucky, so itโs great to see people take the time to memorialize their good fortune.

How cute is this little guy trying to mimic his father and grandfather?
Itโs important to know that young ones are always watching so being a good role model is key.
26. Off to get a sister
Not all families are born to each other, some are created out of compassion and love. Sometimes you end up finding your family in another part of the world.
This poster captioned this photo: โ14 months ago, we got on a plane to adopt him. Today, we got on a plane to go get his sister.โ
Cheers to an exciting new addition!

What a precious idea for a family photo.
We love seeing the ages as well as the styles of rings in this unique shot of four generations.

This family will no doubt treasure forever this shot of their daughter seeing Christmas lights for the very first time.
