The title to this blog is so accurate. I do not know anyone who does not like this family. They are always ready to laugh with you or even at themselves. They are honest, caring and funny. I am truly lucky to be able to call them friends.
I met the mom 16 years ago while she was ready to pop and give birth to their oldest daughter "B". Hard to believe she's now in grade 11 and thinking about university.
She was a little nervous about having her photos taken, (I had received a text earlier in the day asking about ripped jeans and if they were appropriate from mom. Too cute!) but I lucked out because she was a natural and did amazing. B knew when to look at the camera and when to smile. Once she was comfortable with the whole photo thing, we started talking and she began to tell me her hopes and dreams after high school. A faint smile would come across her face as she spoke about it all. It's exciting to see "kids" filled with ambition.
Before I let B take her turn waiting and checking snapchat, we did some sister shots. I know that as siblings growing up you don't always like each other. But you do love each other. Plus mom and dad like to be reminded of that every once in a while.
The sibling photos went perfectly. We had a few tears, but they were tears of laughter as the girls sat and giggled about a few things that I can't share because I wasn't supposed to be listening.
The baby of the family "A" was all smiles for her turn. There were a few moments that I swear I was talking to her dad. Her sense of humor for sure came from him. Finally a teenager and not afraid of having pucks shot at her!
While dad adjusted his outfit, the girls were able to snuggle up to mom for a quick photo.
The next 20 minutes were filled with giggles and more laughs as dad made jokes about himself and about everyone else. At one point I had to wipes tears away and put the camera down because I was laughing too hard. But in the end we were able to capture a few photos of everyone all together.
