Just was reading an essay on the word felicity and, well, your post would have made a fitting illustration.

Tamara, we prayed for a "felicitous" time with family and God graciously answered those prayers. Celebrations with extended family can be a complicated affair. It always takes work to keep things healthy and it's rarely straightforward. But the work is always equally worth it.

Very kind of you, Michael.

Shannon, it helps to have a good camera and a fancy lens. :)
