Here's to big families. Here's to half a dozen dessert options and trying every one. Here's to using every bed, crashing on every couch and covering every inch of floor space with bodies. Here's to making rubies my favorite jewel. Here's to forgiving and letting things go. Here's to the wisdom and gentle nature of grandfathers. Here's to believing in Jesus Christ. Here's to the special bond of cousins. Here's to wishing the best for each other always. Here's to trying to fit too much in. Here's to taking naps if you can. Here's to round-faced toddlers who have us at their beck and call. Here's to chocolate-covered cinnamon bears and taxidermy. Here's to the romance of a rising generation.

Here's to cold nights and

Christmas lights.

Here's to families.
