The viral photograph is making it's rounds around social media.
The story takes a twist when the photographer, Elijah's mom, Rachel Perman, who is diganosed with cancer after her son and twin daughter Emilee were born.
"I had fears if I would even get to see their fifth birthday. My oldest (Mikayla) was 5 at the time and I hated not knowing if I would get the same time with them that I got with her. Perman explained to CNN.
Five years later, the cancer has diminished and for the twins' birthday she wanted to do something special.
Grandparents Richard and Caroline Bain, who resemble the up characters Carl and Ellie were thrilled to take part of the special photoshoot.
"I told my husband, 'I'm glad to know what's been driving us crazy for two years is finally paying off,'" Perman said laughing. "It was a great celebration for all of us."
