What a busy weekend we had, but it is was a truly wonderful one. It all began with the girls’ dance recital Friday night and they were AMAZING!! I still can’t believe Isabella’s first dance recital has come and gone and she danced beautifully. This was Sophia’s third recital and she was quite the pro and I can’t believe how fast she is growing up. I was one proud Mama watching my girls on stage. Fridays show was just Mimi and me; I’m so glad we decided to go the first night just us. I loved being able to focus on my girls. Saturday our girls had almost 20 people come and watch them spin, twirl, and dance; we are so blessed.

Isabella said, “I have never had my own flowers before”. It was the sweetest thing. I never want to forget the look on her face. I never want to forget all these little moments. So sweet.
Saturday Auntie Ade came over to help with makeup and hair. I assumed I would get one of my girls ready and Auntie would help with the other, but no, no, no of course they both wanted Auntie. 🙂
We love having Auntie Ade with us for some girl time.
Leaving my girls backstage was so difficult. I seriously have issues with not being with them and I wonder why McKenzie and McKayla have such awful separation anxiety. Well, I guess they will be grown before I know it.
After Saturday’s show we ended the evening by celebrating at Mimi and Papa’s house. I loved having all of our family together. We not only had my side, but Steve’s side as well. We also had the pleasure of having Sarah’s (my brother’s fiancé) parents in town. What an amazing weekend filled with lots of love.
We can’t get enough time with Uncle Fran when he’s in town.
One of the best parts of the night was relaxing by the bonfire with my girls and when I use the word relaxing I actually mean it. Life is beginning to come together and it’s beautiful.
I realized this post was getting long and it’s getting late, so there will be a part 2 tomorrow and it will highlight Sarah’s wedding shower. So, many exciting things to talk about. I can’t wait!!
