Happy New Year 2015

At the end of 2014, a photographer took a bunch of family photos for us. They are beautiful and we are totally in love with the photos she captured.

Prepare yourself for some serious sister love. Guys, this melts my heart.

On New Year's Day, we took a family trip to the movies to see Annie. Doesn't a New Year's Day trip to the movies sound like a fun family tradition? I hope it sticks! We all really enjoyed Annie. The girls each packed their puppy purses with their wallets and had $5 to pick a movie theater treat. Popcorn in their laps (minus the popcorn they spilled all over the floor) and they sat through the whole movie enjoyably. Our girls are so grown up!

The girls have been asking lots of questions about what it means to have a "hard knock life" and singing "Tomorrow" at the top of their lungs. Abby has concluded she is thankful that she does not have a hard knock life and both girls are really thankful that Annie found parents to love her. I'm sure Ella's sensitive heart needed that happy ending or she would have left the movie in tears. Instead, the girls have been happily dancing around to the Annie soundtrack every day since and telling everyone about the happy ending!
