There was even more to this picture-perfect photo of Kelly, Mark and her three teenage children than initially met the eye. Kelly used the opportunity to pay tribute to her loved ones and she shared that they were the inspiration behind her popular book Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories.
Kelly captioned the striking bougainvillea-filled image: "A #tbt thank you to the most important characters in Live Wire, who inspire/thrill/enthrall and intrigue me every single day. I love you you turkeys."
The star's three million Instagram fan following were in love with the photo and exclaimed that the Consueloses were "the sweetest family!!!" and a handful of fans agreed that this was their "all time best photo."

When Kelly and her Riverdale actor husband Mark shared this shocking image, concerned fans rushed to find out: "What happened??" They quickly learned that the couple's injuries were unrelated – a total coincidence!
First, Kelly broke her foot at a dance class. Speaking to her then co-host, Michael Strahan, on Live, she said: "It sounded like bubble wrap," as she discussed the moment she stepped on a hand weight and broke four bones in her foot.
Then in a freak accident, Mark went on to tear his calf muscle on the same leg. However, the couple saw the funny side of things and captured a snap of themselves keeping each other company which they jokingly captioned: "#tbt 2015 You should have seen the other couple."
