Eli & Maddie's Family Birthday Celebration

Eli and Maddie got to kick off their birthday celebrations with a fun family birthday! We wanted to get together with family one more time before we left Texas, so we gathered for a driveway lunch, which doubled as a fun family party for Eli and Maddie {and Aiden too, since we didn't have an official party for him this year #becauseCOVID}.

They got some really fun presents from everyone- GREAT road trip activities from Granny and Grumpz, sticker books that have lasted for HOURS from Uncle Bryan and Aunt Christa, and the most perfect Disney jackets from Uncle Ben and Aunt Lindsay. These kiddos were showered with love, and had such a fun time!






Singing "Happy Birthday!"


Aunt Lindsay made some really fun Halloween cookies, complete with ghost versions of Mickey, Minnie, and Pooh Bear! I wasn't able to get photos of the whole cookies...my kiddos bit into them too quickly :)





Aunt Lindsay also arranged for one of her photographer friends to come capture family photos for us. We had taken family photos last fall, but baby Joshua hadn't joined us yet, so Granny wanted photos with all the grandkids. Of course, we had to try to maintain some semblance of social distancing, but I think we got some pretty precious photos. These are going to be a sweet memory for years to come. Excuse our outfits though...the photos were a surprise, so we were clearly not prepared to take photos :)









Goodbyes are not always easy, but we are thankful for supportive and loving family as we make the transition to our new lives in Virginia. It's good to know that we always have a place to call "home" with family.
