good times with family friends ...

Nothing beats hanging out with people who know you and accept you for who you are, and nothing is even better than hanging out with people who have seen you grown up, make mistakes, get back on your feet  and still accept you, mistakes and all.

Last Sunday, our family trooped over to MOA to do just that. We spent the day with family friends and I love how things just fall into place even though you haven't seen each other for a long time. The sense of familiarity was just there and I treasure that.

So, as with tradition ... here are the photos that will be cherished forever and hopefully printed before my sister turns 18. LOL. (stated because my 2008 photos have not been printed yet.)

Yep! They are family. Love 'em.
