This could have been much better. But I rushed it like usual and didn't take my time on getting the best possible shots. Oh well, I'm still happy with it for memories sake.

You're very right. I'm new to FCP and I wasn't sure how to move titles around. Any help there?

Great colors and subjects. The matte/vignette that was applied needs to be feathered graduated more..
It's too obvious at the times.

How did you process the colors?

I think it is fantastic. These are the kind of home movies people like to watch. Next time you might try integrating some natural sound/talking into the movie, as I think it can be a great part of the memory.
Great job.

yes i really regret not doing that. i am still very new to FCP and at the time i wasn't sure how to change the vignette look.

i just lowered the blacked in some clips, raised the whites in some clips, and raised saturation. that's all.
