Reese Hill's First Birthday

We headed to Atlanta for another birthday weekend! Reese turns 1 and we were in for a garden Party treat. Mel has been working on this party for months and the weather could not have been more perfect. I loved every detail of the party. We were a little late, we left right after Gaines's soccer game and headed straight there. Spent the night at the Kelly's house and was supposed to head over to the Hills for breakfast on Sunday morning but Will had thrown up a couple of times that morning and we were afraid too. We literally arrived in ATL at 4:30pm on Saturday and left at 9:30am on Sunday - quickest trip ever!

Favors

This board was amazing! Such a cute idea.

Gaines had asked Melissa for months what "Activities" she had planned for the party. Maybe he was into the planning as much as we were since we had talked about it on the phone everyday since January!

I love this picture of Mel - she is in her element!

Reese was so excited. She has the best little personality .

Will loves being around "babies" and wanted right beside us.

Elizabeth's Birthday Brunch

On Sunday of our Atlanta weekend, we got to of over to Jess's to celebrate Elizabeth with brunch and opening presents. The kids got to play together for a little bit and it was hysterical. Will and Elizabeth have already started tormenting each other ending with both of them crying and Gaines with sealed lips on what actually happened in the playroom! While E and Will played and fought, Gaines sat in Baby Caroline's bumbo and watched a show. I know I have said it a million times but I am so lucky to have such great friends that we want our families to be a part of each others lives no matter how many miles are between us.

Bath Time

Kenz and I kept debating whether we were going to bathe our children (by the way I HATE giving baths), but we finally talked ourselves into it and we were so glad we did - the kids had a blast and plus we got some great pics!

Elzabeth's 3rd Birthday Party

We went to Atlanta to celebrate Elizabeth Kelly's 3rd Birthday. Her theme was Minnie Mouse and it was so cute! I am slightly jealous she gets to use pink polka dots - don't see that in my future!!! The boys had a blast - a little overwhelming for hung over parents!

Getting ready for the party!

With our festive ears! You know I love a theme!

The Odoms - yes, I planned their outfits according to the theme...

Favorite picture of the party!

Maybe, second favorite picture. This is our having a blast face!

Hanging out with friends in the ATL

 Saturday was so much fun! The Carvalhos live in a great neighborhood on a cul-de-sac that all the kids play on. My kids loved it! It was a beautiful day especially since it is mid-February. I am very jealous that we do not have this at home - so much fun!

Kids Breakfast - I just love this! I wonder when they are 16 if we will still get pictures like this?!?!

Rotten! 

Brothers

This is what it looks like to fly a kite with no wind!
