Pink Lemonade: All in the Family

My absolute favorite part of the holidays? Hanging out with these people:

My siblings!
Me, Baby Brother Cheetah, Little Brother Cheetah, and sister Cheetah.

Meeting Baby Bro Cheetah for the first time.

We've had to deal with a lot in our family in the past few years, and I don't know what I would've done without these three fantastic people. Mr. Cheetah has grown very close to them too. In fact my brothers are so excited that Mr. Cheetah is also becoming a "brother," that the three have decided that their imaginary band's name is "Future Brothers."

Since my siblings are such a valuable group of people to us Cheetahs, it was very important that they all have a special role in our wedding. My sister is my Maid of Honor, and my two little bros will each be Groomsmen.

I feel very lucky to have such great relationships with my siblings and I can't imagine my wedding without them, but that's not to say it's always been peaches and cream. There was definitely fighting in our house growing up (and we can still butt heads every now and then), but I think we learned a lot from growing up together. We learned how to live with other people (the four of us shared one shower—I don't miss those days) and we learned that sometimes you fight with the ones you love—a simple but important lesson.
