The Spellmans

Some things are just meant to be.

Halley and I became best friends in fifth grade when we planned a Halloween party for our friends.  We spent A LOT of time together at each others houses.  A few years later, my brother and Halley's sister went to the Homecoming dance together...and maybe we had something to do with it.  And the next few years went something like this.

Halley tells everyone during her maid of honor speech at the wedding they can thank us for getting the happy couple together.

And our lives are entwined forever!

The Spellmans are a great family, and I was really pleased when they asked me to take their family photo.


Which just keeps getting more and more fun with more and more little ones!


Pretty proud grandparents, and you can see why.







I hope my future children are as cute as this.





































Aunt Halley can't get enough.


And the big year of two new babies just got bigger - happy engagement, Halley and Ryan!

Pretty Quinnie!


And the newest edition - Jackson James Lancaster...so going to be a lady killer.
























Thanks, Spell family!  See you all at Christmas.  :)
