Memorial Day - Our first celebrated holiday

Easter was our first holiday with the babies, but Memorial Day was the first holiday they celebrated. We went out to my brother's and sister in law's house (Kevin and Jill). Unfortunately, Craig had to work, so it was me and the kiddos. We had a good time spending the day with them. My other brother Les and his wife Kim were also there along with Jill's family. We had some good food! And a lot of it! We had brisket, chicken, potato salad, beans, broccoli slaw (Jill, tell your mom I want that recipe), rolls and yummy dessert (Kim, I want that recipe too)! It was all delicious! Craig really enjoyed his to go plate. Jill's mom and brother and sister in law met the babies for the first time. They helped me feed them too, so that was nice! We had a good day, but we wish Daddy could've been there. Hopefully, he will be for the next red, white and blue holiday coming up! We missed you Daddy, but we appreciate you working hard to take care of us!



Pay no attention to my high shoulders and short neck. I am not deformed, just holding the babies in a weird way making me look like I have no neck.

I'm so glad the girls fit in Maggie's little outfits. Those were two of my favorites! I love all the red, white and blue. Amy, you look really good too. Hooray for four all-nighters!

Glad you had a great holiday!

Those are cute bows! LOL! They look so cute sitting there... Won't be long and they'll be sitting all by themselves.

Hi Amy!
The babies are getting so big:) And it sounds like the much anticipated full nights of rest are happening more frequently...hooray!

Look at them sitting propped up so well like the experienced babies they are!

The pictures are precious. I would love to buy some prints for my "mamaw brag book". How could I go about getting some?

Amy said...

My suggestion would be to copy the ones you want and paste onto your desktop or CD or something like that. Then you can take your CD to wherever to get them printed.
