Cousins and Cupcakes

A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have Samson (Brooks and Ava's cousin) over for the evening. He is such a fun boy! We loved every minute of him with us. And we also lucked out because his sweet mama brought over cupcakes! Homemade, and they tasted even better than they looked...my mouth is watering just thinking about them. :) The boys loved being extra silly as a snapped a few photos of them before they devoured their cupcakes. ;) And later, we set up the tent downstairs, popped some popcorn, and turned on 'Cars' for a little movie night. They were fans. :)

A Good Day at Liberty Park

It was sunny out, but still cool enough for jackets and holding hands extra tight.

We fed bread (and some Sonic french fries) to nice ducks, and feisty geese.

We cheered on Ava as she toddled around on her sweet little legs.

We chased Brooks around the playground and made a little family band.

We had a good day at Liberty Park. A very good day. :)

And that maxi skirt was perfect for the day out. :) My incredible seamstress cousin made it! Kristen sews them, custom to your shape and size, for only $15-30 (depending on the design--solid, stripes, chevron or diagonal striped). If you're interested, let me know and I can give you her contact info. :)
