Writing on the Wall

 So way back a couple weeks ago, you know, when it was WARM and sunny around these parts, we decided to take a cousin adventure.

Elijah was staying with my mom so I brought my crew, and Katie brought hers, to a super yummy diner in Winston Salem for some OH-SO-TASTY pancakes and bacon. (That's right, I eat bacon now) We were so glad there weren't many people there so we could let the kids eat at a separate table and roam a bit. All of the walls were dry erase boards so they were in heaven! :)

Afterwards we decided to brave the park. I say brave, because while Katie and I LOVE getting together, it is a tad exhausting to take our 5 kids anywhere.Thankfully outdoors makes adventures way better and I left the day exhausted but not overwhelmed.. I sure do love my kiddos...

Owo being silly

 

Peyton is getting so brave with his sliding! I can't believe I have such a big boy!

Nay Nay snuggles!

 

Family is the best, isn't it?!?!

Gingerbread Making

 We headed to nay nay's this year to decorate gingerbread men. It was so much fun, even if Peyton knocked over the house many times and ended up with the walls as the roof and vice versa... Sadie slept until it was almost time to go... There was a ton of sugar consumed including Oreos of course, and lots of snuggles. We like to snuggle.

 "OHHHH!!!!" (meaning "Oh no I knocked it down again!")

Aunt Katie tries to hold Sadie Lady, but Norah sure does get jealous! She starts whimpering the moment she sees Mama with another baby!

Park with the Cousins

Last week Nay Nay, Aunt Katie, Audrey and Owen met us at our nearby park. We pretended to be at the beach and enjoyed sticking our toes in the sand. We also spent some time swinging and climbing. It was GORGEOUS and we loved soaking in the sun... and sneezing our way through the beginning of allergy season. What can I say, life isn't perfect. :)

It was a great day!
