Birthday and Camping Fun!!

I can't believe the girls are 2! It is going so fast, but we are enjoying every minute of it all.
We had their second birthday with a small party with our family. The girls love Minnie mouse so we did a Minnie theme and they dressed up as Minnie (they weren't too excited about wearing the ears, though).

Even in the middle of the party they want to stop and read their books





























The girls got a singing card and that was enough for Natalie. She wasn't interested in anything else!

























































































































































































They also got a sand and water table that was a hit (and a huge mess!)





















Grandmama and Grandpapa came to visit















... and our big camping trip!

Yes, we took all the kids for the girls' first camping trip. It was a lot of work, and we didn't get much sleep (we are still recovering), but the kids had fun. Overall it was a good experience that we don't feel the need to repeat anytime soon!

We got a huge 10 person tent so there was plenty of room!















We decided to bring the pack and plays and it was a good decision. They had a two hour party in their beds at bedtime, though.











































They got chairs for their birthday from Aunt Laura, Uncle Craig and Aubrey- perfect gift!
