Ma famille

I stinkin miss my family.

In fact, I'm missing everybody. I have had so many amazing friends, roommates, general acquaintances, and they're all awesome.

Focusing specifically on my family though, I went through old blogs and found pictures that just made me happy:

Given the sweater I'm wearing I'd say this is...old. Can't say how old though. Aren't we all great at smiling for the camera?

 

 The look of absolute glee on her face is what really does it for me.

 Sister snuggles!

 Our (combined) birthday party! I have to say, this is the first photo I found that I loved how I looked in it. Let's do that again! Seriously, though, I loved our combined party. We should do that again.

Big Christmases are awesome.

 Daddy with the grandbaby. Hopefully he'll still be willing to babysit by the time my kids come along.

 Artichoke Festival! Robb looking like the sane one in the bunch! I guess if you're not brought up on artichokes, you're probably less willing to try a cupcake made with them (though, in all fairness, he did try them, and I was nervous too).

 August 26, huge, huge day for our family. This August 26th was my graduation day, and Julie & Sarah's mission homecoming. It was a long 2 years with them away.

 Kairi looks like a singing skater dude and I love it.

 My mama's so sweet...how she has the energy to be this sweet with all of us, AND all the grandkids/pets, I may never know. Here's to a woman who considers it a pleasure to make other people happy.

 She looks like the embodiment of a snotty librarian :)

I remember this day so well! Bells decided that she was sick of wearing pants...and underpants. I finally convinced her that she had to wear either one or the other.

My grams is a beautiful lady, who has never gotten old inside, and who can still whoop me at arcade games. 

 Let's be honest, that's us on the inside.

 Sisterhood. The best thing you'll ever have.
