Visitors from Michigan

Uncle Matthew and Aunt Katie flew in to surprise Claire for her birthday. We had so much fun with them and the kids were so sad to see them leave. Uncle Matthew has more energy than anyone I know so he was a real treat for the kids who were constantly playing with him. Here are some pictures of our time with them.

We went to Granbury for the day

Claire is 6!!

Just like that my baby girl turned 6!!! I can't believe how fast time went and now my little baby is a sweet 6 yr old. We had our usual family party planned for her but with a twist. She knew she was getting her favorite dinner (taquitos and mexican rice) plus a cake but she didn't know that her Aunt Katie and Uncle Matthew were flying in from Michigan to surprise her. The look on her face when she opened the front door was priceless.
