We had such a fantastic time visiting with Allan's family in Alexandria, VA this last weekend. We got to meet our newest niece, Caroline. She is precious and one of the quietest babies I have ever met. Claire LOVED holding her. When she was taking a turn holding baby Caroline we asked her if she was finished and wanted to go play she quickly said "No. Baby.", it was so cute to watch her lovin on a little one.
The four "big girls" were busy little bees doing crafts, going on an egg hunt, playing at the National Zoo (although Claire slept almost the entire time we were there), we made it to a portion of a church service, they opened their Easter baskets, and did a lot of chasing each other. I love it when they all get together, they just have so much fun and they are so cute. I am really looking forward to all these cousins growing up together and becoming closer friends. We are blessed to have Allan's parents make it a priority that we have a few opportunities a year for the whole family to be together and just focus on trying to make a tighter bond.
