Our trip to Nashville was so great. I loved seeing everyone, especially the kids. Funny how they are growing up so much. Ellie's personality is shining through (much of the sassiness from her mom, of course) and Tyler is such a big boy--saying things like "Ellie we need to have a talk." Haha, i loved seeing them. Ellie didnt have much to do with me during our trip to WaterColor for thanksgiving but this trip home, she loved us! It was great. Made me so happy.
Friday night we had a little double bday party for both of them, 2 and 4 years old. They loved their cute little cake. It was great to just hang out with them, see the whole family-g'parents, uncle, dad/libby, mary parr, and my sister. I loved it. Andrew and the girls went out for a drink after dinner which was fun. Fun to have us all together in the same place--rarely happens, I feel like.
Andrew kinda looks like he is doing a Step Sing pose...

My two favorites!
They loved it.
(And so did I, of course)
Saturday we did girl stuff--my sister went shopping around green hills, which can always be a disaster but for some reason I still love doing it. We had lunch with my mom and stayed out in the sun the rest of the day, minus rest time--definitely not ready to be a mom! I was exhausted. That night for dinner we thought it would be fun to take them to a japanese hibatchi grill, which they have been to but I had never been with them and wanted to see them entertained. They loved it. Ellie hated the fire--just covered her eyes and said BAD FIRE! But surprisingly, they loved all their food. We had a blast with them!
Sunday we got a little "nature-esk." We put on our rain boots and hit the pond (well, deedee, ellie, and tyler got in the creek and pond, i opted out--no rain boots with me this go around). Tyler saw his first real live snake and loved it. We just skipped rocks, had a little splash contest to see how wet tyler could get missy, and then just played by the little lake. It was great.
