When the going gets tough, we turn to family. Those of us who are lucky enough to have a good family know that we can always rely on the people who love us. No matter what happens, our family is there to love and support us.
Our families shape the people that we become. They help to build us up and support us when we don’t feel strong. They even love us when we find it hard to love ourselves.
Our families also help us create the very best memories in life. Time spent with our families is truly a blessing. And we’ve got the photos to prove it!
Here Are 45 Photos That Show What A Blessing Our Families Are:

One of the great things about being a parent is seeing your child experience things for the first time. This little baby is seeing Christmas lights for the first time. And it’s blowing her little mind.

When times get tough, its family that helps see us through. This mom had to fight cancer. Her family was there to help her through it and celebrate when she finally defeated it.
12) Love Don’t Cost A Thing
Love is the one thing on Earth that is free. We don’t need money to show our loved ones how much we care. Take this beautiful handpicked Mother’s Day mini-bouquet for example. It’s something mom will love and is even more special since her son made it himself.
Our family is always there to share our proudest moments with us. This this nonna (it means “grandma” in Italian”) for example. Her grandchild was there when her tomatoes grew big. She asked him to post the picture on the internet so that “everyone in Italy can see how big my tomatoes have gotten.”
14) Going Through Changes
As we get older we see changes in our family members. This grandmother is 93-years-old and has started to lose her memory. She can still roll out some mean ravioli dough like a pro though.
Every family has their traditions. Some of these traditions are more “unique” than others. At Christmas time, this father and son duo likes to dress up as All-Father Christmas Thor and Jing Bell Rocket Raccoon.
16) It’s The Thought That Count

17) All He Wants For Christmas
Sometimes the things we want most can’t be bought from a store. All this kid wanted for Christmas was his did to come home. He got his Christmas present early.
Some of the most inspiring people in our lives can be our family. This grandmother is 100-years-old and is a Holocaust survivor. Her grandchild calls her “a living legend.”
19) Reunited And It Feels So Good
Being reunited with family is the best. This mom hadn’t seen her son in months. So, he snuck up and surprised her.
Our families love us very much. This makes it OK for us to be silly around them. Take this fabulous filter pictures for example.
It’s a really very special thing when we get to spend time with all of the generations in our family. It feels quite powerful to see all that strength and endurance in one place. Here are five generations of women.

23) Families Work Their Hardest For Each Other
When it comes to family, people will work their hardest just to make them happy. This mom is a “Thanksgiving Hero.” She cooked non-stop all day for her family until she was exhausted.
Our families are just lots of fun. Like this guy’s dad. He was Santa at the local PetSmart.
25) Comfortable When You’re Uncomfortable
Family will always go out of their way for you. They’ll make themselves uncomfortable just so you can be comfortable. This dad is the perfect example.
Sometimes our families are THE coolest. Like this family. They dressed up as characters from The Simpson for Cosplay.
It’s funy to be silly around our families. It helps us to let loose. Everyone seems to be on board… except dad.

29) All Together Or Nothing
This family refused to take a family photo without everyone in it. They didn’t have a camera with a timer so they improvised. Pretty clever!

Our families are like our own cheer squad. Even when you’re acting like a jerk. This guy made t-shirts for his family with his face on it and they still wore it.
Some families go ALL out. Like this family. They pull out all the stops when they play Risk.
Your family will love you even if you’re the oddball out. This kid’s mom said he ruined the family photo with his weird cat shirt. She still loves him anyway.
33) Family is Your Cheerleader
Your family is always rooting for you. This grandma bought the whole family these cool shirts from Spencer gifts. She got one for everyone except her granddaughter Molly
Family time is the most important time. Sometimes we get distracted by things that cost a lot of money. But time with family is invaluable.
Family helps us to stay positive during the really scary times. Both this husband and wife have cancer. But their daughter is helping them to stay positive.
36) The Bigger the Better
One of the best things about family is that you can always make it bigger. This family was fostering and then decided to adopt. Taylor has just made their family a little bit bigger.
Sometimes we love our families so much we have to express it. And we do so in our own unique ways. Like this little girl who loves her “whore” family.
When our family plays tricks on us, we forgive them. Because we know its silly and fun and done out of love. This father and daughter love to ruin family photos when mom is taking them.
39) Family Reminds Us Of What Is Important

This video perfectly embodies how great families are. They bring us food and presents when we need them. And give us hugs when we need them too.
When it’s time to celebrate, your family is your go-to crew. They are always ready to party it up with you. Family celebrations are the best celebrations.
