The Importance of Family.

          My family is fantsmagorical. We help each other out. We've got each others backs. We talk with a lisp when it's just us together. We're awesome.

          We have birthday enchiladas, Wii tournaments, and skype dates.

          

          We fight over who gets to sit in the recliner, have wrestling matches, and eat popcorn every time we watch a movie.

          We tell each other everything, give advice, and support each other with every decision.

          We give each other compliments, tell each other about cool new things we've found, and laugh at the same things.

          We have placemats from everywhere we've been, take pictures at every important moment, and have been to some of the most beautiful places.

        

          We can have conversations entirely out of movie quotes, love to surprise each other, and joke around.

          We have laughing attacks, use sarcasm a lot, and plan vacations in a minute by minute schedule.

          We know exactly how to make each other laugh, say "I love you" at the end of every phone conversation, and have a silly picture for every serious one. 

         

          We take a trip to Leavenworth every year, have "fend for yourself" nights when there's too many leftovers in the fridge, and have family prayer every night. 

          We help set the table for dinner, play with the dog, and call Mom and Dad when we need help.

          We cry when we're overwhelmed with happiness for each other, we cry when we say goodbye for a while, and we smile when we say hello again. 

          We get to see our family growing, we cherish every moment, and we keep adding to the list of things we do.

          This list of things wouldn't exist without my family.
