Send us your family photos capturing a moment that means a lot to you and tell us what makes the photo so special. (Make sure to give us clear information to identify people.) It could be a joyous moment at church, a treasured family gathering or your cat knocking over the Christmas tree.

Note: We’re looking for candid family photos that tell a story. The older the photo, the better.

Is there a prize? Yes! The best shot will win a restaurant gift card. We’ll name the winner and run some of the photos online and in print Dec. 22.

Is there voting? No. Observer editors will select the winning photo.
