More February Fun!

Abbi requested cinnamon rolls for her actual birthday and was quite excited to eat them that morning:


Susanna wanted to play outside while her sisters were at school and Alyssa was napping.  She asked if I would put Cupcake outside so she wouldn't be all by herself and Cupcake stayed right with her and followed her all over the backyard!  Susanna was so happy!

Alyssa got really sick and wouldn't sleep in her crib.  Daddy offered to hold her while I got ready for a long night of holding her and when I came back I found them both like this:

Karlie was so excited to be in the spelling bee again this year and was even more excited to win it!  We are so proud of her!


Susanna decorated Abbi's hair while I read Penderwicks to them:

A Night in Downtown Gatlinburg!

The girls really wanted to see downtown Gatlinburg so we took a little walk all around.





Papa Eric was entertaining Alyssa while we all got ready and she was quite tickled to be able to play in his car:

The Aquarium in Gatlinburg!

We decided to surprise the girls and go to the aquarium while in Gatlinburg!  Susanna hadn't been since she was a baby and didn't remember it all all so she was utterly amazed!  We all really enjoyed seeing all the amazing animals off the sea!

The Great 9th Birthday Trip to Wilderness of the Smokies!

We have a family tradition to plan a destination trip for each girls' 9th birthday instead of a party for her and her birthday twin.  This year we planned an amazing trip to Wilderness of the Smokies!  We didn't tell the girls until the night we booked the rooms so they had been asking and trying to guess where we were going for months!  When we showed them videos, they were so excited and just couldn't wait!  The trip was everything we had hoped and we were extra blessed that Grandma and Papa decided to join us and help us enjoy the fun and chaos!  I honestly don't know what we would have done without them!












Alyssa was very hesitant about the water park at first, but after about a half hour she had a blast playing at the edge of the water and splashing around!
