Spring Break 2010 Cabin Trip

The girls and I wen to the Cabin a couple of weeks ago for some fun with the cousins and Grandparents. Dad calls it his "Fish Camp" although he doesn't fish. This cabin in deep East Texas has been in our family somehow since I was born. It is great to have my kids be able to enjoy the same experiences that I had growing up.
My sister, Angie and her girls, Lori and her girls (and Ryan) and my parents were there too.
The girls played on the rope swing (always a highlight), got REALLY dirty, roasted marshmallows, rode bikes, etc. We had a great time. Sophie enjoyed baby Elise. Elise was such a sport for allowing a 2 year old to change her diaper. Caroline lost her front tooth while we were there and also loved that I let her sleep on the top bunk.
My parents always make the cabin trips such fun. They help take care of everything.....so much so that my Mom is always moving and I have no pictures of her.
Fun times!!!

We went over to Bobbie's house for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. The girls had a great time playing (kind of) the piano and with all of their new toys. We, of course, had Christmas morning coffee cake and hot chocolate when we woke up. Yum.

Sophie's Second Birthday

"I had a Bunny cake....I ate the ears!!""
We had Sophie's party a few days earlier than her birthday. My parents were able to come into town and Bobbie came over as well. Sophie had a great time opening presents and was thrilled with her Bunny cake.
Although everyone got lots of wonderful presents for her, the hit of the day was the Babydoll from Grandma Bobbie. She opened it and then wanted to play with it. We told her that she had to open more gifts. So she would open another gift and then go ask Mama Leslie "Can I have the baby now?"
She would take the baby, hold her up and say "I have a a new baby."
She still LOVES that doll.

Kissing the bunny!
