Last week, we had a girls trip back to Arkansas.... we haven't been there since summer, and we were excited to get back!
As with any Texas road trip, we had to stop at The Czech Stop in West, Texas for kolaches.
We made it to my parents house before dinner, and then we practiced our broom balancing skills.
I hadn't heard this before, but I guess twice a year during the fall and spring equinox, you can balance brooms, and it totally worked!!
The girls had a sleepover, and Thursday morning, they made decorations for Amelia's birthday party.
We spent the morning doing some shopping, and then had lunch at Purple Cow.
All of the girls had a purple milkshake.
Yum!
We finished off our evening, celebrating Amelia's 8th birthday at Hogwild.... a little pizza & arcade place. Combined, the girls had over 1,000 tickets! Megan picked out a unicorn ball, and Adalyn picked out a gigantic purple ball!
Friday morning, we took the girls to Wye Mountain to see the Daffodil field.
We took the opportunity to take lots and lots of pictures.
We went on a day, where they were letting you pick daffodils, so the girls picked a ton! My mom ended up with a huge bouquet on her kitchen table.
That afternoon, the little girls went down to my brother's house to play, but Gretchen stayed behind and made a giant stick fort.
And then we walked down to the pond.
It was nice to have some quiet time with this girl.
Friday evening, we had the rehearsal for my niece's wedding. All of the girls were flower girls. We thought it would be fun if they wore the Navy hair bows that my niece bought for them when she joined the Navy.
The girls practiced until they were pros ;)
Saturday morning was wedding day and we were up bright and early!
Megan had gymnastic's "homework" for Spring Break, and each day had to practice her splits. She held her splits for 10 minutes! Ouch!
After split practice, we headed to the chapel to get the girls ready.
My mom found their flower girl dresses on Zulily, and they each had a crown of baby's breath.
I may be biased, but aren't these the three cutest flower girls ever.
Rather than tossing flowers down the aisle, the girls held yellow gerber daisy balls, and Gretchen had a little sign.
After the wedding, we had a ball at the reception! Adalyn took the biggest piece of red velvet cake ever, and all of the girls had fun on the dance floor!
My niece wore the veil that I wore on my wedding day, and Megan ended up wearing it through most of the reception! One day, my three girls will wear it on their wedding day.
Adalyn even caught the bouquet!
My brother, sister, and me.... I'm the baby of the family :) and i'm so grateful to have these two in my life.
After the wedding ended, we were wiped! We went back to my mom's house and had a lazy evening! Sunday morning we got up and drove back to Texas. Visits back home always go by entirely too fast; we were sad it came to an end so soon!
