Day 237 - living room dance party

dance party in the living room

Day 204 - snickerdoodle "cookies"

{ok, so my trade secret for creating happy smiles in photographs of people}
{instead of saying "cheese", I smile really big and ask them to say "cookies"}
{creates the best smiles, every time}
{it has become a bit of an inside joke}
{i love it}
♥

note: the plate the cookies are being served on are special from 9/11
I use them for Memorial Day and 4th of July

my cousin Sunni and I
"cheers" to family that is the best ;)
