Bella was in heaven holding little Micah (6 weeks)...
She just loved every moment...
Friday morning, us girls escaped to a lovely breakfast at the Frothy Monkey...
Friday afternoon we celebrated birthdays! Bella's was April 2, Sadie's April 26 and Jackson's May 7...so it made for a great time of birthday fun together!
The girls wanted a "Princess" party...
And Jackson loves Elmo...so we did both!
Aunt Brit created these lovely princess cupcakes...
We enjoyed singing happy birthday three times...first to Bella...
Then to Sadie...
Then to Jackson!
Of course every princess needs a little lip color =)
We enjoyed playing at the park...and soaking up good quality family time...
The girls in their matching princess birthday shirts...
Swinging always brings smiles to everyone's faces...
Papa with his three boys!!! Dirty knees and big balls...everyone was happy =)
Mimi and Papa with all their kiddos!
We played a fun game of "Pin the nose on Elmo!"
Everyone had their turn...
I love this sweet baby...and I'm pretty sure he loves me too...
No party is complete with a little cousin "Ring around the Rosy"...right!?
Evening strolls with the family...everyone is learning to ride their bikes!
Skooters and bikes...with a little assistance...
Saturday morning, we all ventured to downtown Franklin for the annual Franklin Festival...
Lots of really cool crafts and tons of special tents of food and activities lined the streets...
I enjoyed sitting with these girls and watching all the local dancers perform...
Then, they asked for volunteers to go on the stage and dance...and you better believe that Bella and Sadie were the first to take up that offer!
Pretty violinists...
Papa and his little man...enjoying all the fun festivities together...
Do you recognize these cowgirls???
We even found Cinderella walking the streets...
The Gorin family headed back home...and daddy had to get back to work...but the kids and I were able to stay an extra week to get quality time with Mimi and Papa...and the Moore family bunch too! We loved all the extra attention and special time with each of them. =)
Bella was a sweet big cousin and helped make cousin Houston's first Chick-fil-a playground experience a delightful success!
We even got to visit Mimi's big library for Story Time...that was super fun! Stories, songs and even a pretty craft!
We loved all the time we had in Nashville...although it always seems to go by way too fast no matter how long we get to stay! We will look forward to the next time all the cousins get to be together...we hope real soon! :)
