SPECIAL THANKS TO: Todd at the Horn T Zoo for letting us use Tornado (the miniature pony), our very own Alice (the white rabbit) for being such a wonderful tea party guest, and Cindy (the GEORGEOUS mommy) for bringing such perfect outfits for her family to wear!!!
Thank you SO much, Ashley! You did an AMAZING job, love them all!
Cindy,
I can’t believe how much they have grown up! G is so big now I can’t wait to see them when I get back! Stella is so cute in her little outfits…I’m sure she is keeping your hands full! I showed my roommate these pictures (I had to update her because I showed her some that I took when I was babysitting lol) but she said “they are like the perfect family”…. I miss you guys and I hope you are all doing well.

P.S. I tried to pick a favorite one and I honestly can’t! They are all just too cute!
Awesome.
Cindy….they are soooo cute. I can’t believe how big they are getting. I can’t wait to see them in a week. Great pictures. Anna was jealous of the pony in the picture. The kids loved them!
Debra and family
Cin – I’m shaking my head in amazement. All of these are absolutely the best — I do not know how or which ones you’ll choose! Good luck! Stella looked like she was having a ball!
Love, love, love these pictures! What great memories!
Pictures are adorable! Stella has so many cute ones and Graham’s faces on some of the pictures crack me up..totally him.
Those are so great- you guys look awesome! She is really creative
Looks like the kids had a fun time!
Cindy –
Ava is sitting here looking at these with me and saying “wow”, “cool”, “so cute”. Big hit, they are so precious and the kids look beautiful! Can’t even pick my favorite, like them all!
I’m so proud to be part of such a loving and beautiful family. My neice and nephew are adorable and all together you make such a beautiful family.
Awesome pictures Cindy! Really clever to use cameras as props in the pictures. All the Rinkol grandchildren should be models.
Very neat pictures! She did a good job-you will have a hard time choosing-so CUTE!
Loved every picture.
Great pictures, Clausen family! Good luck choosing!!!
How adorable and how fun!
Beautiful pictures—love Stella’s especially.
Loved all of them! Wow! Thanks for sharing!
