A touching video captures three young sisters, the Deckers, joyfully playing together just before they were reportedly killed by their father, who is homeless.
One particular clip shared recently features Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and little Olivia, as they enjoy cupcakes in a tent set up between their hometowns in Washington.
“We’re in the playroom. Let’s show everyone what we’re doing,” Evelyn says while her sister records her.
“Especially… our cupcake mix!”
During the filming of this sweet moment, the youngest sister was seen quietly working on her cake.
Another video shows the sisters beaming as they participate in a Limbo game at their grandparents’ house the day before school started.
A photo reveals the girls in matching frilly white dresses and sparkly shoes, with one of them even sporting a graduation cap that seemed a bit too big for her.
While it’s unclear exactly when these videos and photos were taken, they seem to be from the last few months.
The footage provides a glimpse into the sisters’ charming bond before their tragic fate emerged.
Sadly, the body of one of the sisters was discovered on a bank near Wenatchee’s Rock Island campground, about three hours east of Seattle, with plastic bags tied around her head and wrists.

Initial reports suggest the girl may have died from choking.
The girls were reported missing by their mother when their father, Travis Decker, did not return them after a scheduled visit last Friday.
Authorities have been searching for Decker, a former Army soldier with a history of mental illness, on suspicion of murder.
Decker’s 2017 white GMC Sierra truck, believed to have been at the scene, was located where the girls were found, according to investigators.
A reward of $20,000 has been announced for any information leading to Decker’s arrest.
