Spring Break 2016, Part Two

On Wednesday, we had a little early birthday celebration for Miss Hadley! We baked & decorated cupcakes that morning, painted nails with Grammy, visited the neighborhood playground, and then Auntie Em made the drive from McDonough that afternoon to join us for dinner & the birthday song!

 

This is the girls' little "play room" while we're at my parents' house. The girls are either on the piano or playing with the little people & doll houses, they love it!

 

Ready for her birthday cupcake & the birthday song! Can you tell she was excited?!

Just like when we opened presents at home with Derek in San Antonio, I think Shelby was more excited about singing to Hadley than Hadley was ;)

My mom totally spoiled Shelby and made her feel SO special! Shelby's half-birthday fell while we were at my parents' house, so Shelby got a half-birthday cupcake to celebrate her turning five and a half! ;)

And if there was ever any doubt that Shelby is the sweetest big sister, this proves that she is. We made sure to remind Shelby before we sang to Hadley that this was Hadley's birthday and she wasn't allowed to help Hadley blow the candles out. But when it was Shelby's turn to blow out her own candles, she stopped and told Hadley she wanted her to help. It was a very sweet moment!

Thursday was our last day in Georgia! We spent the morning at my mom's friend's house catching up with her, and then that evening the girls & I got to visit with BooBoo (Derek's mom)! It was a really fun evening, and I thought this picture of the three of them turned out so cute!

Then on Friday morning, we were up bright & early to catch our flight back to San Antonio!

It certainly wasn't fun waking the girls up so early, but it was more than worth it to get them home in time for lunch & NAPS!!! Not only did the girls get some much-needed sleep that afternoon, but I was able to get our laundry & unpacking done while they napped...score!! :)  Derek came home from work a little early that afternoon, so he was home when they woke up from their naps. To say they were happy to to be back home with Daddy would be quite the understatement!

We are so grateful for such a wonderful week with our families!
