My niece turns 4 and a few of my NEW niece!

My niece turned four actually the day after I left but I was happy when they said they were going to celebrate it a bit early so I could celebrate with them. Before her party I went and hung out at my sister's house and instead of helping I carried around her baby and took pictures of her beautiful kids haha!
Hanging with my nieces! Love that Moby Wrap and I think she loved it too! Had to pop her little head out so you would actually see her in the photo!

Birthday girl all ready for her party!

My new niece almost 2 months old

All together my nieces and nephew showing their baby sister some love!


Having fun opening gifts and loving all the tissue paper!

My sister planned a few games and I think it was such a good idea for the kids to have something to do! They all had fun, even the older kids!

Miss C is 11!

As most of you who are reading this know that I was home for 10 days, so for you it is just news to see the pics finally! I had a great time seeing and spending time with my family. My older sister had her baby in April so I was super excited to meet my new niece for the first time. I think I may have become a baby hog for the week hehe!!! Another special celebration was my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary party. There I was able to see family who I haven't seen since I was married almost three years ago or before! If those two special events weren't enough to satisfy me as an added bonus my sister and I made a meal for my parents to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary, one of my sisters turned 11, and my niece turned 4...so needless to say I ate a lot of cake and ice cream. Since I am so far from home I miss the little experiences I miss so I enjoyed being able to see my sister perform at her "Fiddle Camp" concert. She learned the basics of the violin and learned a few songs. It was bittersweet to come home because unfortunately my husband wasn't able to go with me due to his newish job and I wanted to stay because as you all can imagine I miss home and my family.
So I do not want to make this a big photo album but there are so many so I will try to separate them off. I would do them gradually but now that I am working overtime I do not have a lot of extra time :s.
To begin, we will start with my sister's birthday the big 11! because that is what happened first :) and by the way I made the giraffe cake (her favorite animal :) ) and to finish off this post is her Fiddle Concert!


A big group hug for the birthday girl!

"Mimi" loving her new granddaughter!
