After a year of living together and Steven asking 4 times a month if they can get a dog, Vic finally caved and agreed to adopt their sweet Nova girl. She is the start to their little family and (most of the time) she brings a ton of joy to their lives.

Victoria and Steven's first niece. Mia girl brings so much joy to their hearts. Mia is the sleepiest baby and the sweetest girl. Mia's laugh is infectious and with every smile she melts her aunt and uncles heart. Mia will forever have them wrapped around her finger.

Victoria and Steven's first nephew. Luca has brought so much love and joy into the Teixeira family. Coming home after work to see him running around the house in his walker makes their heart explode. Luca is the sweetest boy on earth!

Victoria (Tori's) roommate. From the moment they met freshman year Victoria was convinced that Chris was her soul friend. Chris, on the other hand, needed more convincing. For years, Victoria told Chris he would be her something blue when she got married. Years later Victoria and Steven decided Chris needed an even more important job for the wedding. They can't wait for Chris to marry them! ;)

Victoria's big sister and role model. Nicole always gives the best advice and has always guided Vic towards the right decision from high school drama to wedding planning. She is the depiction of what a big sister should be and Vic can only hope that she is half as good of a big sister to Jamie as Nicole is to her.

Steven's oldest friend who was with him almost every time Vic had dumped him back in middle school. Some of their favorite memories with Filipe consist of the 24 hour hang outs they'd have. Whether it's sitting on the couch or being a menace to society, Filipe is always down to vibe out.
