Fighting her sleep all the way to San Antonio, once we finally got her into the car (at noon) she was asleep before we were off airport property. By Saturday, the rest of the family had arrived. Together with all 5 of the cousins, we were able to see the amazing relationship already beginning to develop. Ellison looking up to Addie, Addie adoring Bella. Though separated by years and miles, it is amazing to see the love they have for each other, even at such a young age.
Whether it was playing in the sandbox, taking baths, or sharing spaghetti, it was really fun seeing these kiddos interacting. Of course, Barrett, the oldest, had more fun schooling Uncle Rob on the Wii then anything else.
Besides watching Marshall take his first bites of cake, the funniest story developed from bath time. Knowing that Marshall and Ellie would't always be able to share bath time, we thought it would be fun to get them splashing around together. Towards the end of the bath, it was more than smile and giggles being deposited. With a very serious and determined impression on his face, Marshall inadvertently cut bath time short with a couple of pushes. Out from underneath his body came a "floatie" that caused tears of laughter.
It is always so much fun to have the cousins all together. So glad we were able to be apart of such a fun weekend. I can not believe Marshall is already one, and likewise, that we are already planning a first birthday party for our own little princess. We also want to wish Happy First Birthdays to Preston Clark and Griffin Garrett!
