It’s A Wrap

It’s December 3, and it’s time to wrap up the year. I planned to write a blog around submitted Christmas photos to serve a dual purpose.

Who Are the Bryant Brothers? Meet Gabe

Who are the Bryant Brothers? Finally, we find Gabe, the Bryant Brother, who was proximally close but chose to remain distant. Why the chip on the middle child’s shoulder?
