Our Family is a Teenager

Zach and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary on January 7th.  Last year we started a tradition of celebrating the day our family officially began as our family’s birthday with a piñata.  The kids were amused this year that our family is old enough

The little girls helped me make mini heart shaped cherry chocolate pies.P1072468P1072455
