Ok, let it be known that these pictures are not fantastic, nor are they artistic in any way. I didn't frame anything, they are just plain real... Our family at it's best...
We're all cuddled together in a wonderful, full of love and laughter kind of chaos and I wouldn't change a thing!
I loved that all the cousins had to figure out a way to sit next to each other even if it meant you were super squished...
The present exchange this year was extra special. I think everyone really put their heart into it. I felt like each gift, was more than just dropping into a store to pick something out, but there was a lot of thought and love and creativity put into each gift. Time was spent and I felt like everyone felt the love.
I love the circles. Kids in the center parents on the outskirts, but no one left out...
Gotta love some Captain America!
Isa making sure Marley sees Justin Beiber's face on her pretty...
I loved Cole's look of disbelief here. 800 legos? That's AWESOME!
Cousins and best friends... seriously we are so blessed!
I didn't get any of the adult gift exchange, but I was just thinking of all the gifts. I wish I had gotten Quinn's reaction to his gift. I love that there is laughter in our lives. I love that even when things are super tough and we find ourselves under massive amounts of pressure, we still can laugh till we cry, find good things to focus on and encourage one another to hold on just a little bit longer. I couldn't ask for better people to spend this life and the next with. I don't even have the words to express the love I feel for this family, so I'll just say this. I love you all and I pray that this year will be amazing!
