Throwback photos ~ 2011 family memories

2011 was a fun year!  Topher was a full blown walking and talking toddler who was a year and a half going on two years old, and the girls were at that age where they were just as cute and sweet as pie down to their sweet little voices and little toes.  

Laney started kindergarten in August 2011, and Lila was still in preschool at Share and Care.  Topher was in the little ones class at Share and Care too.  We traveled so much that year and had a blast as a family.  Life was exhausting sometimes, but it was filled with so much love and joy and experiencing new adventures through the eyes of 3 sweet little ones.  I have found these recently, and wanted to share them.  They may have been posted in other posts 5 years ago, but they are so special to me that I want to share them again.  Where did those last 5 years go, by the way??
