Mother's Day Weekend....WARNING: This is a LONG post :)

We spent Mother's Day weekend in Habersham with Shane's fam. Right when we arrived, the girls sprinted to the back porch to have their tea party :)
After tea party time, they went for a ride on the ceramic puppy dog....
and took their bunny rabbits for a stroll....
Then HayHay and Gigi surprised the girls with this jumpy thingy...they LOVED it :)


That night they helped Gigi cook dinner...well, kind of, they "cooked" a ton of salt with a few potatoes mixed in....:)



It was also Aunt Julia's 30th birthday!! The girls were anxiously awaiting her arrival!
Uncle Bryan came over so the girls had to show him their skills in their new jumpy thing....
Happy Birthday Aunt Julia!!!
We LOVE Uncle Lance :)
Time for birthday cake!!!

Taste-testing :)
YUMMY!
Sweetness
Hanging out before bedtime....
Bubbles with Gigi...





Gabbie went exploring with Uncle Lance. They were looking for worms....nice :)

Sadly, no worms were found....
Family dinner time....
Uncle Lance had promised Gabbie he would take her fishing and if you know Gabbie, she doesn't forget things like that....so even though it was too late to go fishing at the river, Uncle Lance and his creative self made it happen anyways...well, kind of...with the help of a dust pan :)





Wearing Uncle Lance and Uncle Bryan out!
Yes, the girls are still in the jumpy thingy as it is transported :)
Aunt Julia gave the girls their first ever pedicure...they were SOOOOO excited!!



Jocie wanted PINK...
and Gabbie wanted BLUE :)

Thanks Aunt Julia!! We love you!
On Saturday went to the wedding of our friends Meredith and Robbie. It was definitely one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to. It was at the bride's home and her daddy had built this AMAZING amphatheater for the ceremony.....yea, he is pretty talented :)

Look at this place!

The fam....before the ceremony

Look at this view!

Our row :)
Precious Jocie
There are no words :)
Ummmmm.....total sweetness
and ummmmm....some more total sweetness :)

The bridesmaids....LOVE that they all had different dresses on....fun idea
The bride and her daddy :)

Yay....it's official!

SO pretty

Centerpieces
This was such a cool idea....guests wrote notes to the bride and groom and then used clothespins to clip them to this awesome lattice thingy....loved it.

Loved the reception decor....
The girls were beyond pumped to tear up the dance floor....here they are warming up :)

Miss Priss :)
So good to see the Ak's!!

Still dancin!!
Yep....it's time to go....
Yep....definitely time to go....
The long walk to the car....fun times :)

Gabbie's melt-down got even worse because we wouldn't let her blow out this "candle". Hilarious.

Bless you, golf-cart man.
The next day we celebrated Mother's Day as well as our 12-year-anniversary! Much love to both of our moms and to my grandma. We are truly blessed by you. And I am beyond blessed to be the mom of my precious little girls. I cannot believe Shane and I have been married for 12 years!! That's insane. He is a gift. I love that man. How did we celebrate?? We drove 7 hours in the car with two girlies that HATE to be in the car. BUT....overall, it was a fabulous weekend!!
