best friends




I just have to say that Aaron is going to just hate me someday for this! Annelise & I were a little bored a couple days ago...so we dressed Aaron in a princess dress & did his hair...and took pictures! He is already obsessed with putting on other people's shoes...and he was putting hers on...and Annelise mentioned he needed the full outfit. Poor Aaron. He did look quite "pretty" though!

I am so glad that Aaron & Annelise are friends and get along. They have their usual brother-sister fighting moments...but overall, I can tell they love each other. I am so glad to see that because I had the very best relationship with my brothers growing up (and now). Brandon was my very best friend when I was younger...and then when I got older, Corbin and I got very close. I remember being devastated both times when they each left on their missions! It is so hard to live far from them. I do miss them both...and wish we could see them more often! My kids love them too!

Do you live near your siblings? Do you wish you did (or didn't)? Did you have a close relationship with any of your siblings? Lets hear your answers! I am curious!

As long as you didn't paint his fingernails I think you are okay!! He does make a very handsome princess!!!

That is so funny. Didn't Brandon do something like this when he was younger? I love my brother and miss him like crazy. He is in Virgina and this is the first time that we have not lived 10 minutes away from each other. We were best friends when we were older. I miss you guys. Are you going to come down and play in our new house?

Sadly, I remember my sister and I doing this to my brother on a few occasions growing up - he hated us for it and denies it to this day - but we sure get a kick out of bringing it up every now and then. Just make sure you save the pictures for his future adventures in dating!!

My girlsdid the same thing to Jake not to long ago,and he is 4!! Your little guy makes a very cute little princess. With Annelise as the queen of all the princesses, I'm sure it will happen again. You have such cute kids!

Jill said...

That is great, and yes he is going to hate you someday. It is nice that they have each other to play with.

Wow! You are going to be hated in about 6 years! It is pretty funny though! I remember dressing Derek up when I was a little girl! Don't worry we took plenty of pics! So, Vegas?

My brother is 5 years younger than me. I did this to him on more than one occasion. I used to be in dance and twirl the baton (a hidden little secret), and I would dress my brother up in the tutu's and then my dad's work boots. I even did make up on him. He is my only sibling and we are still pretty close!

So funny Brittanny. I loved the pictures. They are great. I too have an awesome relationship with my sisters. One of my sisters & I butted heads the whole time growing up, but now we are the best of friends. It's funny how we mature & realize that differences can be a good thing. It was fun hanging out with you last night. Our girls were adorable together.

Goodness, Mike would kill me if I did that!

To answer your question, I'm really close with my siblings (I have 3 sisters and 1 brother--older, so we never played dressup with him!). I'm so glad that we are back in Utah and can see everybody more often.

Love the bow in his hair. My husband wasn't too happy when I got Caleb a baby doll. I told him it would teach him Empathy and he said, "I don't care about that."

My siblings are all close. Did you know that Nathan Goff is my brother? It's great to live close by. I just hope he never becomes my bishop!

Corbin and Amy said...

Ohhh I wish I could kiss Aaron's cheeks and just squeeze him!!!!! What a fun idea. I'm sure Annelise loved doing this huh?

What sweet things to say about Brandon and Corbin.I'm going to show Corbin when he gets home from work. It will make his day since he's on a really hard rotation!! It would be nice to live near relatives. One day I suppose....

So cute! I love watching siblings together! Annelise and Aaron are so cute! I can't wait to see baby number 3! My sister and I have always had a good relationship except for the normal sibling fights, we got along most of the time! I also get along really well with my brothers, but there is just somthing different about a sister relationship! Love the Pics!

Oh my gosh. That is freaking hilarious, and he prob will kill you when he gets older! haha.

Tanner & I always dressed up in mom's silky jammies & high heels & walked around for hours upstairs on the tile, listening to how cool our 'heels' sounded.

Too funny! I had one brother I was really close to growing up, especially in high school. It made life so much easier, especially since we are only a year apart. I love how close your family is, it's really special.

Britt,
How's the pregnancy going? I wish I could have talked to you more at the shower. Will you call me though b/c we need to hang out one last time b/f I have this child so that gives us less than two weeks. Let's do lunch or something!!!

Chet would die if I ever did that to carson but sometimes boys just have the prettiest eyelashes. Like they were made for mascara. They make perfect make up models. My house was all girls and there was plenty of make up. Now I have to tell my sisters "Less is more".

The Waters said...

Uh Oh Britt, Looks like I need to have a sit down with Josh, this is just unexceptable. I sat there looking at the first picture trying to figure out if you shaved Annelises head or if that was a really old picture, but I was wrong on both accounts, you simply dresses your son like a........well.....a, okay so it's really scary cause he passes. If someone didn't know you and just hopped on your blog and didn't read the fine print, they would just think you had two beautiful daughters! Hope your feeling better. Love Reesh!

He looks so cute! I'm sure my girls and I will do the same thing to poor little Cael. I always wished I had a brother, but I got three crazy sisters instead.:) I do love them though!
