The bond between siblings can never truly be one dimensional. They fight, they argue, they even bully each other sometime. Then again, they also care for, protect and cover up for each other when the need arises. And giving us all some precious new goals sibling love is Twitter user @Jmarker16 who’s thread about his sleepover with his little sister is winning hearts on Twitter!

Joel Marker is all set to go away to college at KSU (Kansas State University). But before he did that, he decided that his little sister Hannah deserved one last sleepover.

In case you’re wondering who this lucky little lady is, here you go!

So what happened next? A super-duper fun sleepover is what happened, of course! And Joel was kind enough to share everything he and Hannah did on their epic sleepover with his Twitter fam!

Brace yourselves for all the cuteness that is to follow!

Joel drives a mean Jeep, and he made sure to take a fun road to drive on when he picked up his sleepover date!

First order of business in any sleepover is the food. Hands down. And Mexican was on the menu tonight!

Oh give me some Mexican food and I’d be as widely grinning as Hannah here!

A lovely evening like this one deserves some time to spent doing outdoorsy things. So off to they park they went!

Nice ride there, Hannah!

And then Hannah found the slide. The rest, as they say, was a lot of fun!

Totally justified!

Can there even be a sleepover without movies? Hell naah!

Some more cruising on the dirt roads in Joel’s killer ride! And his shotgun rider was surely having fun!

Moana was one lucky Disney Princess to be picked by Hannah for her sleepover entertainment!

Movie snacks, DUH!

And finally, it was time to say those beddy byes! But not before being absolutely good children and brushing their teeth!

The zzzzzs were calling Joel and Hannah and I have a feeling some pretty sweet dreams followed!

Hey, did you think that was the end of the sleepover? Of course not! The morning after the sleepover is a legit important part of it!

So, what’s on the agenda today, you ask?

Did I hear someone say BREAKFAST?

That smile is totes me when someone says ‘breakfast’!

Okay, I want to be a part of this epic sleepover because it involves some really cool activities! Like shopping!

Ain’t a wholesome sleepover if there isn’t no working out!

Now that workout was sure to burn off a few calories and make you immensely hungry, so lo and behold! FRIES!

And then it was back to the Jeep for the final cruise!

And in the Jeep, with the carefree wind blowing in their hair, Hannah and Joel had their fabulous sleepover’s last supper!

And might I add, it was sooo apt!

Alas, it was time for the epic sleepover to end but the lovely smile on Hannah’s face sure makes for the perfect end!

Could there BE any better sleepover? Twitter seemed to think not!

Everyone was experiencing the same warm, mushy feeling after reading the thread and they sure made it known!

Some major love was sent to Joel for making his sister’s day!

Showing people how it’s done!

Joel won so many hearts, quite literally, with his big bro act, that proposals began pouring in!

The sweetest thing for me though was when others with family members with Down’s gave Joel a shoutout and shared their own adorable pictures!

All the love pouring in was so heartwarming!

Mushy heart!

A friend request!

Some more love!

That’s it. This thread just officially made my day and I guess yours too! Here’s hoping Joel and Hannah get to have another epic sleepover soon!
