Every September our dear friends host a big BBQ at their summer house. Food, swimming and a lot of running around is what takes place and everyone has a blast. Well each year this BBQ falls on the first weekend following the summer which for some reason is the busiest weekend of our year. I haven't attended one of their BBQ's in the last 4 years. I thought this year was gonna be different. The invite came out and my calendar was clear!! I was so excited to join in on the fun. Until... The forecast came. Rain and wet. They moved the BBQ out to Sunday...the day I did book for an event. What a bummer. I moved on and kind of forgot about it all until last week when an email showed up in my inbox full of the most beautiful photos from that day. Viktoria, the host and my friend, had hired a photographer, Marina Vykhodtseva who captured the most precious shots of my family. I'm sure you can imagine just how thrilled I was when I saw these beautiful photos which I will now always treasure. With thanksgiving coming up next week, these pictures remind me just how lucky I am to have such a special family who I love with all my heart. These guys are my everything.
