Whirlwind Weekend

We spent a crazy busy weekend in Florida last weekend to celebrate a lot of things, but mainly my dad's (Grandpa) 50th birthday. It was a surprise and he got to enjoy spending time with a lot of different family members. The kids were so good all weekend and they loved being a part of all the festivities! There were lots of cameras and lots of times when I didn't have my own camera, so I have a bunch of random pictures that aren't really a representative sample of the whole weekend. But it was a great time!
Here's a random elevator photo of little Allie. She's such a confident little cutie!Zachary entertained cousin Ari for quite awhile letting her chase him all over the hotel lobby. Both of them were laughing a lot! Zachary has always been so good with babies. He naturally knows how to get down on their level & play. I love that!

We enjoyed a fancy Tea Party baby shower for my sister Raschelle. It was really nice and dainty. Allie enjoyed being a part of the tea-drinking. However, the waitress felt that the tea was too hot for her and didn't pour any into Allie's tea cup. This is her response:
When we did get her a cooler cup of tea, she LOVED putting the sugar cubes in her tea cup. I'm pretty sure the tea-to-sugar ratio was definitely a bit skewed!
I love watching her be a little lady!
Towards the end of the party, she did get a little sleepy. Here's us with Grammy Claire (Allie's great grandma!). Such a nice day together!

It was a nice day and a really nice shower. Our family (girls) always do things nice.....handed down from generations. Love it.
