Once a year my mom comes out for a visit! And this was especially nice because she came at a perfect time of year. In the past she visited in August (crazy hot and humid), and then after that it was February (freezing cold!), so now the weather was just right! It was nice to get outside and enjoy the warm (but no too hot) weather.
She was here for 12 fabulous days! She was here to enjoy Solanas 4th birthday, play in the sun, go shopping, and spoil us all (especially the kiddos).
On top of Solana's fabulous birthday, we had the best surprise we could ever ask for. Brittany and Addie showed up for Solana's birthday party!!! They flew out from San Diego and stayed for a couple of days. We we all shocked, and she wins for the best surprise ever! (I cried I was so happy) It was so fun to have them here as well, and we couldn't get over how well Solana and Addie played together. One afternoon we left to go shopping while Bostie was sleeping. Adam said he didn't hear a peep from the girls for hours! They were perfect besties! I so wish I lived closer to family, but having great visits like these makes up for some of it. Solana keeps reminding us that if she moves with us to NYC then we will move to California after that (she cries often that we are not moving by her cousins). Fingers crossed, but no promises.
Gigi loves flowers just as much as Solana does. So she taught her all about planting all different kinds of flowers and how to take care of them (she actually taught me too!)
Singing songs in the primary book together. Gigi has them all memorized and was teaching them to her, and Solana was making up her own words as well. So sweet!
Mom snagged a "great" photo of me decorating for the party the night before. It's a dangerous job…:)
Pool time is a must this time of year.
Besties for life! (we just need Alec and Piper…)
We took on the challenge...
And so did they.
Yorktown beach at its best!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!
Unlike Solana, Boston usually takes a little bit of time to warm up to the water and sand. But once he gets comfortable, he gets really happy.
They fought over sand holes for a while, but eventually they each had their own. phew!
Bakers Crust dinner with mom. I don't know the last time we did that with just the two of us. So much fun!
He finally has a twin! Bostie's blue eyed blond hair, just like his Grandma!
Giggles at its best.
Solana took this one, and its so beautiful!
And she took this one. Great job Solana! She captured the happiness perfectly!
