Fancy Nancy Tea Party

Nana hosted a really sweet Fancy Nancy Tea Party for her neighbor Nancy and we were invited! Vivi and cousin Chloe had a great time playing in the treats and eating them too. Nana hit the dollar store jackpot for all kinds of "fancy" items. I think you can see where I've learned my tricks of the trade in party planning. Nana did a great job hosting and it made for a sweet and fancy memory.

Summer time is laid back!

Summer time is full of fun and laid back times. I wanted to post a couple of shots of Nick and Vivi playing guitar hero, reading in the back after watermelon time, and swinging or sliding with cousin Chloe at Nana and Papa's.

Swim Party/Slumber party

We got to start a new tradition of hanging low for the 4th at Aunt Em's house. We went swimming and enjoyed burgers and dogs. Then...we headed to our house for our first slumber party with only Chloe! Chloe was happy to wear her star headband and stole the show at Braum's for a late dessert. Vivi wore it for one quick shot with a sarcastic smile. This cracks me up! We had a fun time with the girls and it gave us good practice for two kiddos!

Happy 4th of July

We had a great time on the 4th with some family traditions and some new times too. Vivi picked out her patriotic outfit with stars headband picked out by mommy. Pictures include a shot of Vivi waiting patiently on mommy and daddy to be ready. We joined up for a family tradition of meeting with the Schroeders at their old neighborhood parade. This year we got to enjoy the Carras too.
