This family is so special to me, to us, my husband and our family. Basically my husband’s friend from college married my friend from college and they’re our couple. And now their kids are apart of my heart as much as their parents are….maybe more. 😉 Before the kids came along we started a tradition after college to go on a New Year’s trip and that continues annually. Were on year nine this year and because once a year isn’t enough we are trying to get together in the summer as well. We headed down to the Jersey Shore for the 4th of July and it was just such a magical time. It’s just easy with us and I think we all know that. We have traveled so much together over the years and this last trip was one for the books. Now I’m spoiled by family sessions at the beach
