a day in the life

I do so love my family and get togethers where a fun time was had by all :) not exactly sure why but things so quickly go down hill when members of the family are together and sassy...this post is picture intensive and i didn't even give you a good snapshot of the day we had together :) lots of fun and laughter and love...........aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Well the real reason we got together was to celebrate Maddies birthday...oh to be 11 again...here she is sporting her new outfit from her auntie noel....zipper headband, zipper earrings, crown necklace and summer dress

I am so bummed this is out of focus cuz it is such a sweet picture of a boy and his dog

better focus and cute but not as cute as the one before

the chollars...looking at the other camera focused on them :)

now doesn't that have the look of pure adoration and pure sassiness...you can guess which one has which look
