194/365

This is a picture that hangs in my grandma's bedroom. It's of me, Drew and Chandler several years ago. She used to have us take pictures like this all the time. We don't do it anymore. But I've always loved this picture. It makes me smile every time I see it.



Chandler is the tiny one and Drew is on my back.
