Yesterday we hosted a baby shower for my cousin Anne. She is due in just about five weeks, and we can't wait to meet baby Thomas! Lainey and Walker will have a new cousin, and one that lives pretty close to us. We're pretty excited about that!
the AMAZING cupcakes that my friend Jessica made
story time with Anne :)

the hostesses with Anne: Kelly (and baby Charlotte), Anne, me, and my cousin Kate (Anne's sister)
And, later, we gathered at my parents' house for a family dinner. This is a picture of the cake that we surprised my mom with (another one of Jessica's creations). My mom's birthday is in just a few days! Mom and Dad, thank you for the two celebrations that you hosted at your home yesterday. Both were wonderful and we're so thankful for the time that you spent preparing and organizing and cooking! We had a great time. Thank you so much.

sweet grandparents
We are so blessed that my grandparents get to be a part of so many family events now that they live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I hope we don't wear them out!! :) To all of my other family members, it was SO wonderful to see you. I am grateful for all of the many, many memories we share and look forward to creating more with you in the future. Despite the fact that everyone is separated by many miles and for some, great distances. I love you all!
