Instafriday!

So I'm cheating on Instafriday this week.

I'm going to post ONE non-camera phone picture because it is delightful and purrty. 

Who does said picture feature?

My beautiful sister, Gina, of course!

Look at that beaut!

{She's the one on the left. Yeah, she inherited all the Italian-looking genes, as I've discussed many a-time before....No, I'm not bitter about my burn-proned complexion.....I mean,why would ask such a thing....?}

Anyway, Gina is my best pal, my compadre, my call-at-all-times-when-in-doubt right hand man, if you will, and I couldn't be more thankful for her. She told me what to do when Carter hadn't pooped in about a million years, {nice visual, eh?}, and will forever be my impromptu stylist, because her style blows mine out of the water {Hello Gina, in your designer boots, just lying around the house. Hello me, in those yoga pants you bought from Target, just lying around the house. Ya see what I'm saying?}. 

All in all, she is amazing. AMAZING. 

Love her beyond words.

Since I'm not a total cheater, though, here are some adorable, 100% camera phone pictures of her two-and-a-half year old daughter, Tessa!

Tessa's another little lady I couldn't be more thankful for. She is Carter's best pal, and those two play beautifully together.

So thank you, Tessa, for letting Mommy and Auntie Coley talk about important topics such as The Real Housewives of New Jersey while sitting on the couch, while you and my son make each other laugh by running Carter's dump trucks into various walls. 

We love you both around these parts!

I'll be linking up in two places today!

Bow chicka bow wow.
