Joni's picks:

• First: 4 Lettre Words

Why Joni chose this photo: "this photo is perfect because it is of a family doing something together. when i think of families i think of the memories created and the sledding in this photo is a memory this family will always remember.  it definitely puts a smile on my face because it reminds me of snow days from my childhood."
