Although Joanna Gaines has certainly become a household name thanks to HGTV's Fixer Upper and her numerous home decor lines, she wasn't always so well known. Born Joanna Stevens, the mom of five adorable kiddos has shared numerous flashback photos from when she was a little kid that show she has always had a close relationship with her older sister, Theresa, and her younger sister, Mary Kay.

Flash forward a few years, and by the looks of her loving family and successful business ventures with her husband, Chip, Joanna has come a long way from the days of hilarious school photos. Of course, she has her family to thank for all the support! Scroll through to see some of her earliest childhood photos that prove family is everything.
