Birthday Cousins

The girls and I got to spend the weekend in Southern MN with my parents, where the girls got some serious Grandma & Grandpa love!  And in the 'true' tradition and spirit of Hadley's birthday Kyle spent his hunting  (thankfully, he wasn't called away because I was in labor this time!).  Hadley was thrilled to celebrate her birthday with her cousin, Brooklyn, who turns 5 today.  The last time the girls got to celebrate together was in November of 2008...

As you can see, both have grown into beautiful little preschoolers.  But even more importantly, both have really grown to love being with one another...

They weren't the only cousins who were happy to see one another... Savannah & Piper were awfully cute little buddies too (they are 15 months apart).  Piper even told Grandma, as she was getting out two highchairs, that now she and Savannah could visit together in them!

We also managed to squeeze in a baby shower for Heidi over the weekend!  We shipped the boys off, Jeremiah included (he really was there over the weekend, despite the lack of pictures of him...I think Nathan & Heidi might need to have a little buddy for him?), and had a grand and girly time! Only 9 weeks left until her due date, but who's counting!
