Just found this in Lillian’s folder on Evernote – She’s hilarious y’all!

“Family” by Lillian –

Camilla is my mom and she has a blog and website and is 41: https://camilladowns.com

Lillian is a daughter and a child and has a blog and is 10: https://lilliandarnell.com

Thomas is a son and has a website he would like to show and is 5: https://thomasadarnell.com

What do you notice about each age?

Camilla’s age is a big two digit
Lillian’s age is a small two digit
Thomas’s age is a small one digit. He wishes to be 6:)

Tonight I am in awe, speechless and overflowing with gratitude for 12 very special women in my life {and the unbelievably awesome view I got to experience tonight}. That is all!

Thomas, “Mom, did you know girls could marry boys? I’m going to marry a girl named Vanilla.” This as he was eating some vanilla ice cream!! Just adore the things this little man says!

After a full afternoon of fun at Big and Little Washoe Lake, we just made these and toasted to Team TLC. (Lillian does not like hers melted together. She eats all the pieces seperately!)

Dark chocolate on mine, lavender and currant dark chocolate for Thomas, and crispy rice dark chocolate for Lillian. Cheers!!!!
