2004

 
 
 
 
In 2004 we started the traditon of trying to get family photos either at Christmas or Thanksgivng
They eventually became the "studio-type" photos we did at Philip & Leslie's house after lunch on Thanksgiving annually

These photos were taken in a "small" studio at Wal-Mart the same year
We're really crowded together because the room was too small for a group of nine people
I'm still thankful to have these in the collection

The 3rd bedroom in Philip & Leslie's house served as a photography studio
 
 
 
  
   
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 

2010

 
 
 
 
We didn't do any studio photos in 2010. It became an annual family event in 2011.
We started off doing the photos at Christmas but it eventually became an annual event after lunch on Thanksgiving.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2011

 
 
 
 
Christmas & Hanukkah photos
 
 
Our family got involved in the Messianic Movement in the 1980s. We haven't become Jewish, we're still Christian, but we do observe
Hanukkah, Passover and the other Biblical Festivals mentioned in Leviticus 23. In the New Testament, Hanukkah is called
the Feast of Dedication and we know that Jesus observed it as well as Passover. Jesus became the Passover Lamb that gave us salvation.
Curtis has co-led a Messianic/Jewish-Roots group in Lincolnton since 2002 called Beit Yeshua - House of Jesus/Salvation.
Check out our Webpage and especially the yearly blogs with photos: Beit Yeshua

Curtis, Carolyn & the Seeses attend Covenant Church in Lincolnton while Philip, Leslie & Kaylie attend Woodlawn Baptist Church in Conover.
I'm thankful for the fact that Covenant does a church directory every couple of years because it gives us the opportunity for some great family photos.
These were taken on 01 Nov 2015
 
This was the last studio-type photos we got of Mom

2016 was the last Thanksgiving we had at our house with Mom/Granny/Willie Goble Loftin.
She had left her home of 63 years to go and live at Cardinal Nursing Home in Lincolnton, NC.
It was wonderful to have her with us and we couldn't pass by the opportunity to take some family photos.

2019

 
 
 
 
As usual, the entire Loftin/Seese clan went over to Philip & Leslie's house after Thanksgiving luch for family photos.
He and Leslie always do an awesome job.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Kayli actually told Savanna & Ali how to position themselves for this photo of her with her older cousins
 
 
 
    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2020

 
 
 
 
Due to the world-wide coronavirus pandemic and COVID-19, 2020 was different that anything we had ever experienced. In March, the entire world went into "lockdown". We didn't see the kids or grandkids for months. Only "essential" businesses were allowed to open - such at doctors offices, hospitals, government buildings, pharmacies, building supply stores, food processing plants, grocery stores, fast food restaurants, postal services and other businesses that provided things necessary for human survival. Schools were even closed for the rest of the year - eventually opting for on-line classes for kids. Some churches completely closed while others refused to shut their doors. Our church provided streaming services on line while others opted to have services outdoors with church members remaining in their cars.
 
For the first time in our lives we heard about social-distancing and stores that were open, like Walmart, only allowed a limited number of cuntomers into the store at one time and customers were told to only go down isles in a certain direction. Facial masks were mandated but there were many who refused to wear them.
 
We quickly learned that the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions were more likely to die from the illness. By November, there were 57 million cases worldwide with 1.3 million deaths while in the US there were 12 million cases and about 260,000 deaths. The countries with the largest number of cases were as follows: (1) United States, (2) Brazil, (3) India, (4) Mexico, (5) United Kingdom, (6) Italy, (7) France, (8) Iran, (9) Spain and (10) Russia.
 
We were not able to have our children or grandchildren come into our home, but by April they had come to visit us outside - at a large distance in the yard. It wasn't until mid summer that we finally opened our doors for the kids and grandkids - with social distancing and masks.
 
Government officals and the news media encouraged families not to get together for Thanksgiving or Christmas due to the possibilities of spreading the disease. Carolyn & I, however, decided that there was no "quality of life" without being able to have family over so we opted to host our annual Thankgiving and Christmas celebrations
 
All of that to say that we did do our annual family photos after lunch on Thanksgiving Day.
 
No photos from 2020 would be complete withour our masks
 
... and without our masks

One thing was for sure. With everybody being stuck at home, there was a lot more "snacking" due to boredom and our weight gain showed it.
