Going to See the Gal Pals

Rose and I do rather enjoy our girl time.  We spend a lot of time sipping coffee, shopping and chatting about the latest news, such as which Kardashian is pregnant, who hates who on The Real Housewives of whatever and whether or not the color pink is going out of style.  It's imperative for us to get this time together, because those issues are very important to Rose and simply cannot be ignored.

This year for our Mommy & Daughter vacation, we drove out to Colorado to be with our gal pals.  The cuteness was almost unbearable!  I thought my Rose was cute, but once I sat her down with those Palte twins, the cuteness factor tripled.  Three precious little girls under two?  It's all too much!

Rose got busy playing with as many new and exciting toys as possible.

Addison showed me her love of all things shoe.

Emily was in full blown cheese phase, which made for great smiley pictures.

Addison woke up a little early from her nap to make sure she'd have time with Rose all be herself.  The two bonded over bubbles and buckles.

Oh my.

Hello, mini-Abbey.

There was no stopping Rose from slobbering all over everything.

And it just kept getting cuter!

Snack time!

Once all three cuties were ready for round two of our day, we packed up and headed to the Sebring house in a hurry.  Auntie Wendy needed to meet the new and beautiful Vivian.
Somehow, some way, I only got this one single photo of Vivian that evening.  How insane!  It'll never happen again.  But oh, she's all kinds of stinkin' cute.

Proud Daddy, Greg.

After we stuffed our faces with pizza, we got busy catching up on silly girl play time in the backyard.  The Sebrings have a perfect fenced in yard equipped with good evening shade, soft green grass and glorious mountain views.  Hooray!

Although Claire undoubtedly missed her Dale, she had a ton of fun sliding into laughing babies.

Rose was in full blown bossy mode, barricading the top of the slide as much as she could.

Emily took her place at the bottom of the slide, so she could catch everyone with her face.

Addison mastered the slide with her tongue out, smile on and pigtails high in the air.

Claire enjoyed being the big kid, and she was so giggly and polite.  And oh those toenails!  Those are some cute little piggies!

Rose finally warmed up to the slide and accidentally let a few smiles slip out.

How many babies can you fit in a sandbox?

The gals.

I could have stayed all night, but for some reason the kids got tired.
