this is how we do

every mothers day we wake up bright and early sunday morning, and the sibs make their way to mom & dad's house for a big, decorated, coffee fueled breakfast-party-kick-off to honor mom. Everything is prepared the night before..dad brings home secret flowers and we pretend like she has no idea it's coming. And then we softly wake her up, but clap as she enters the kitchen...because the Neilson's love an excuse to clap, and because we truly adore our mother.
 so.this.one's.for.you.ma.

Yikes my baby brother is 20 years old...

Joshua's olderrrrr. He's so cute and lanky and tall. 
We had an 'olympic-themed' party for him.
He's always tryin' to be super fit and drink his water out of gallon jugs, 
so we thought it appropriate to celebrate him in an epic olympic fashion.
Also we felt it was necessary to include this blessed pinata. eeek. 

A little different from last year...

Yep. I love you, brother. so so so.
