A Real Tea Party

When we were in Denver, we spent one afternoon having a fancy teaparty at a gorgeous hotel downtown.  We all loved it, but the girls especially loved it!  They used their tea party skills to make sure that pinky stayed up.  They got alot of practice because they loved the tea!

LOVE the pinkies!!

This is my favorite!!  LOVE IT!!!

Photo Shoot

I'm trying desperately to get through all the pics from our trip!  This is the last bit from MN.  These are from a photo shoot we did with the 3 littles while the others were in school.  Such a fun day!

Mall of America

Mr. Handsome decided to bring us all to the Mall of America...8 girls!!! That takes a brave soul! lol... The girls rode their first roller coaster. Wesleigh loved it...Gracie, not so much. She didn't hate it, but she didn't want to go again.

Right before the roller coaster :)








American Girl Store!  My girls have never seen such a thing!




They were just a little excited :)


What a fun day!  Mr. Handsome even took all the kiddos home so Di and I could shop by ourselves for a couple of hours!!!!  Whoo Hoo!!

Ice Skating

While in MN, we took the girls ice skating.  My girls have never done this before and loved it.  They did surprisingly well!  I think it's partly due to the fact that they roller skated every week in preschool.  At least they weren't afraid to fall and knew how to get up :)






You might not know this,  but Di has quite an ice skating history :)  She is the pro, so I left it to her.  I did not need to go home with a broken arm!  She even put on a mini show for us and spun the girls around!
















Such a fun experience for my little southern girls!!

Special Friends

We had an amazing time in Minnesota, even though it was FREEZING!  These southern girls are not used to those cold temperatures.  We were able to do so many fun things while we were there and we were all sad to leave :(  I have a ton of pics to post from our trip, so I will start with some pics celebrating some special friendships.

This was taken just moments after we arrived.  Gracie was all about finding the dress-up clothes and everyone followed her lead.  This might be my fav pic of the weekend even though it was on my phone :)


Ainsley and Wesleigh were inseparable.  We're going to have to get Ainsley down south for part of the summer!!!






My girls fell in love with Mr. Handsome!  Every time Gracie changed princess dresses (about 1,000 times a day) she had to come up and model it for him :)


My precious friend, Diana.  I am so thankful that our journey of adoption brought the two of us together.  One of God's unexpected blessings in my life!


We got to meet Miss Bella this trip too!


How cute are all of these kiddos?!  China sisters who share a special history and bond.


Just had to add this one...so funny!  I will never complain about washing 2 heads of hair again :)


I have so many more pics to share.  We were able to do some super fun things while we were there!  Love you northern girls!!
