Tonight I caught my girls looking quite delightful like this…………
and while snapping that picture, eyes closed and the quietness of our night began………
and my heart had the most peaceful feeling overcome it. These girls will always have each other. These girls will always be sisters, and will always have that life long best friend that every girl needs.
I didn’t expect the love to be alive so early. I prepared myself for jealousy, and resistance – I was blessed with love instead. These little moments shower me with a vision of the most delicious, delectable bond that my girls will have with each other.
My family doesn’t put relationships with each other in the highest importance. It’s so sad to me that in my family most relationships are damaged and treated like trash. I know it’s cruel to say, but it’s real. Even my own relationship with my sister is non existent. Not by my choice, because I love my little sister with every ounce of my soul. She’s my sister, she’s supposed to be my best friend. But unfortunately, she’s at a place right now where she doesn’t want her family. And that’s okay. All that we can do is be here for when she realizes that we’re here unconditionally…. we will all always love her; whether she realizes this in 6 months or 6 years.
With my family, my husbands family and the dysfunction we stem from, I am determined to give my children a solid FAMILY foundation. I don’t want my children to ever turn on each other, became hateful towards one another, and choose to destroy their relationships with each other.
I will never stand for it. PERIOD.
I want to always see my children like this with each other ~
and while I know things won’t always be perfect, I am determined for my children to realize and know in their heart how important they are to one another.
Awww, such beautiful pictures and such great words. It’s true, family can be tough and all we can do is remain loving and teach our children that same love. xxx
Thank you, sweet friend 🙂 I am determined to teach my children how to love…. it’s so dang important!!
I think that with you as their parents, they will always know the true meaning of family.
<3 You are so sweet! Thank you
awwwww, they are adorable!
Thank you, Stephanie!! You ready for Christmas?! I can’t believe it’s only in a couple of days…. I hope you and your beautiful family havea very Merry Christmas!
Oh, those pics are darling!
Thank you, Shell!!
Love the pictures! Family is not always easy… but it sure looks like your children know what it means to love one another!

So far they know what it means…. let’s just pray they continue to love each other through the teen years LOL.
That is a heartwarming series of shots, eyes open, eyes closed, together. And a big brother to scare away all the boys – perfect. As someone who springs from dysfunction unlimited – I’m really happy that you are breaking the cycle.
All I can do is try my hardest to break the cycle. I think having a solid, loving family to stem from might help a little…. I hope?!
Aw, that is so sweet!!! I just love that. I hope my kids will continue to have a good relationship throughout their lives too.

All we can do, Crystal, is hope and teach them to live this way. My family never set good examples or taught us about unconditional love. It’s sad, but at least I learned how NOT to be with my kids lol.
