A little behind-the-scenes sneak peek of what it takes to get our whole crew together for family photos. 😂🤍

And somehow, in just TWO years, we’ve added five more people to this picture. 🥹 Our family is growing, life is changing quickly, and these moments feel more precious than ever.

It’s my birthday month, and when I was asked what I wanted for my birthday, my answer was simple: I wanted my entire family together and an updated family photo. That’s it. That’s the gift. ❤️

Mamas with big families, you KNOW this is no small task. Coordinating schedules, outfits, babies, spouses, significant others, and getting everyone in the same place at the same time deserves an award. 😂

But my crew made it happen. 🥹

The older I get, the more I realize that there really isn’t anything I want more than this—my people, together.

I can’t wait to see the final pictures. For now… enjoy a little peek at the beautiful chaos behind them. 🤍

Five new faces in two years…and somehow my heart just keeps making room. 🥹

They bought the truck… but what made this mama proud was everything that happened BEFORE they bought it. ❤️

They sacrificed.
They saved.
They waited.
They lived within their means.
And when the time came, they paid CASH for a beautiful red F-150 that was new to them. 🙌🏼

Last night they pulled up to family dinner in their new truck, and one by one, everyone came outside to see it.

There was cheering.
There was laughter.
There was genuine excitement.

And standing there watching my kids celebrate their sibling’s win, I realized:

One of the greatest gifts in a family is learning how to celebrate someone else’s blessing without questioning your own.

Scripture says:

“Rejoice with those who rejoice.” — Romans 12:15

In a world where comparison, jealousy and competition can so easily creep into families, friendships and relationships, teach your children to be people who CHEER FOR EACH OTHER.

Someone else’s blessing doesn’t diminish yours.
Someone else’s success isn’t your failure.
Someone else’s answered prayer doesn’t mean God forgot yours.

👏🏼 Clap when they win.
👏🏼 Celebrate when they succeed.
👏🏼 Honor wise choices.
👏🏼 Be the loudest voice cheering for the people you love.

And to my kids who worked, sacrificed, waited patiently and chose not to go into debt just to have something sooner…

We are SO proud of you @joss.cross_ and @coop.cross

The truck is pretty awesome. ❤️🛻

But the wisdom, discipline and patience it took to get it?

That’s what we’re really celebrating.

“Rejoice with those who rejoice.”
Romans 12:15
