First stop was an awesome overnight stay with the Dillon cousins. Aunt Cori kept us well fed and very well entertained! My favorite combination:) The kids enjoyed two local pools and lots of cousin time, and the mommies enjoyed catching up! Of course, when it came time for pictures, only silly faces would do!
The following evening, we of course had to get our La Paz fix! We walked over the new Mt. Brook Municipal Center to see Uncle Brad's most recent building project. Because Uncle Brad is well known in these parts, the firemen were more than happy to let us explore the fire trucks. Just another little bonus to our fun-filled trip!
The next morning the girls enjoyed breakfast in bed. They absolutely love all of the "pampering" you get with a hotel stay. Lotions and shampoos in the bathroom, hot chocolate and cookies in the lobby, and a full on breakfast bar. And this was just the Hampton Inn! Thanks to Pops, breakfast was delivered to our room, and the girls really thought they were something!
Of course, one of our main reasons for the trip was to celebrate this special boy's first birthday!! Is he a doll, or what!
Aunt Mak, as always, executed an awesome birthday party with so much attention to detail. Don't you just love the bunting and the Aunt Mak original? Such a great backdrop for the food display.
I only wish I had taken more pictures!
To round out the trip, we had an awesome time visiting with Val and her boys and Carrie and her girls! Don't think back in our college days that we could have imagined having 9 kids amongst us! Val was kind enough to squeeze in a photo shoot too! Am I lucky to have such a talented friend or what?
Val and the boys introduced us to AirWalk. The kids were sold immediately. Especially this little chickadee!
I love living in Mob-town. It is most certainly home to me. But I have to admit, I small part of my heart still belongs to the 'Ham. I'm so glad we've got family and friends there that make visiting even more special!
