Big Things come in Small Packages

One of our goals for the new house, is to have a place that friends and family can come to for celebrations.  So as soon as we moved in we worked towards this goal, and we had something major to celebrate...a new family member.  Mommy's brother was having a baby and they were coming to town!  Not only were we all super excited that they were coming to town, we were excited to host a party at our new house.  While it was a lot of work to get the house ready (we had only been here a week!) it was tons of fun.
We strung up lights, put flowers on the tables, and candles everywhere...perfect for a new little girl.
We also built a fire pit to cook smores on (got to get your priorities right).
And set out to celebrate.
All the cousins came and had a blast running around being spies in the big yard.

 

So that was in June, fast forward 3 months and Mommy made a special trek out west to welcome the newest member.  Welcome to your crazy new family Baby Grace...

Your family is already head over heels in love with you.  Your biggest brother can't get enough of you

And you have a big cousin at this house who is beyond excited to meet you...finally a girl to play with.

***A couple of notes about this post...I started writing it over  month ago but just got it finished and apparently we were so excited during Grace's baby shower...nobody took pictures!!!  If anybody has any they would like to share with us that would be awesome.
