The Family who LIVED!!!

















Love my little family who lived.  One day after the one day mark of our living anniversary, we had a friend take some pictures of us.  So glad I got one more year of their smiles, one more year of their laughs, one more year of their hugs, and even more year of their whining.  So grateful for forever families and grateful my whole family is still on this earth!
