There are a lot of birthdays, picnics, and dinner parties pictured in the album showing off the food and décor. Also accompanied are several group pictures filled with hugs, laughing, and smiles. There are also pictures of the family outside and around their home. This is mostly during the winter time and there are landscape pictures of woods and houses covered in snow.
