Here is our family. One of the twins pulled out her markers after school and this is what she created for me. In case you are not sure who is pictured here I will explain:
-
I am on the left side and look as if I have never seen a brush in my life. However, I do have a nice purple bow in my hair.
-
Evan is way on the right. He is very tall. And thin. He could also use a good hair brushing.
-
In the middle are the twins. She is in pink. He is in blue.
-
Also in the middle, and above the twins are our dogs, Buddy and Baby. They usually have their paws planted on the floor.
-
At the very bottom of the page are our fish, Fred and Rose. Fred was recently renamed Lightening Flash Fred.
-
Which brings us to the circles in the middle. . .The larger of the circles is Jake. The next largest circle is Sawyer. The smallest is for the baby . I did not realize they even knew that I was pregnant. I was wrong.

An absolutely beautiful drawing. I love that everyone is smiling. I love that everyone is together. I love the messy hair 🙂 I just showed Haley, and she said “that’s cute, does Lanie have that much hair?” Tell Alyssa she draws wonderfully. All my love to you ALL.

Maybe you have not seen a brush in awhile, but I definitely see a halo at the top of your hair. I would frame this picture and hang it is my home. Beautiful!

I’m new here, so first off, congratulations! That’s a beautiful drawing! And I love that she didn’t leave anyone out of it, not even the fish. That’s frame-worthy!

I love this! Caleb is still too young to draw anything but scribbles, but my niece draws me pictures like this all the time.

Wow–love this picture! A classic for keeping! Out of the mouths, and hands, of babes…
Hope you had a lovely birthday! Look forward to hearing about the details!
