Brothers weekend

At the beginning of November, we hosted the very first "Brothers and their Ladies" weekend! We did a lot of hanging out, enjoying meals and playing with the girls during the day. We celebrated Uncle Brad's birthday with coconut cupcakes and when the little ones were in bed we had lots of fun in the men vs. women board game challenge. Hoping this becomes an annual tradition!

sweet sister love

Abby was so excited to have her sissy snuggled up with her after naps.

I love her!

getting ready for her first taste of cereal

Hmmm...what's this?

Unsure the first time, but now she shouts at me if I even pause while feeding her.

While Mommy unloads the groceries...
