Fun with my Girls

Ok, I'm really trying to get back on the blogging bandwagon...this fall is kickin' my tail! 

The Crowes finally came home from Disney World...felt like they were gone for a year!  I have made it a tradition to get DB a "number balloon" and a "fun balloon" every year for her bday.  Friday afternoon, I surprised her with them after her nap!

She took off running to the mailbox!

She found her surprise!

A big shiny #4 and Cinderella in her carriage!

Cookie and Chief surprised DB with a Cinderella cake...how cute is this?!

After celebrating, it was bath time for the girls...as much as I hate it, Libby is a thumb-sucker!

I can't believe I caught this on camera...K lovin' on her little sister!

Ok, I promise to try and keep up the ol' blog...hope everyone's fall has gotten off to a GREAT start!

Bret and Sasha's Wedding Weekend

A couple of weeks ago, our cousin Bret, got married in Chattanooga.  The Decker crew was there in full force!  We had a great time visiting with family and seeing the sights in Chatt town!

First stop when we arrived was to see Mimi! She was lookin' great and we loved getting to visit with her!

Chattanooga has so many fun things to do downtown...we couldn't pass up the Aquarium!

After a little sightseeing we were off to the rehearsal!

DB did a great job at her flower girl practice!

After the dinner, Daddy D lead the bride and groom in the "shoe game"! 

For being the flower girl, Aunt Vicki showered DB with presents...Tink was one of her faves!

Saturday, we arrived at the church to see these beautiful letters on the doors!

All dressed and ready to walk down the aisle...is there anything prettier than an heirloom gown?!

The bride and her mom!

The happy couple!

She looked just like an angel!

Of course Lib was there too rockin' her tiny heirloom gown!

The Crowes, minus one!

Congratulations, Bret and Sasha!  We loved being a part of your wedding weekend and wish you the best!!
