we met up with the famille for a lovely dinner at dolce!  a cozy, delicious restaurant tucked away in a downtown ‘burb.  i love my famille.  i really do.  we grew up together in such crazy ways {five kids! but who wouldn’t say life is always crazy?},  but i wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world.  my dad has always taught me, family first.  they will always, always be there for you.  we are lucky that we are and always will be.  having that many siblings is something i cherish and feel so blessed to have 2 brothers and 2 sisters that are amazing {we are missing our eldest brother, the hipster who lives in l.a.}.  to top that all off, we all turned out to be damn good kids.  shout out to our p’s!!!  xoxo

my other major loves, my darling nephews.  i just adore them [seriously love them]!!  they are the sweetest, cutest, most lovable little people ever.  i love being around them, i love playing with them, i love listening to them, i love being a good aunt to them.  they are so stinkin’ precious {i could just squeeze them and pinch them all the time…although i don’t think they would really enjoy that}.  they make the world brighter with their laughter, smiles, and innocent charm.  j’adore beaucoup, les petits enfants.
