Beach Photos

We had the opportunity to get some Beach Photos taken while on vacation. I found it it is really hard to coordinate 11 Adults, 3 Babies and 1 Child to all be looking and smiling and not eating sand at the same time. Luckily, over 200 photos were taken so we were able to get some good ones out of all those. Here is the whole gang!

Vacation Post #1

After the big Birthday Bash, we all headed down to Litchfield Beach for a little R & R. We stayed in the condo with Mamaw, Papaw, Aunt Chrissie, Uncle Adam, Cousin Julia, Uncle Nick, Aunt Kristen, Cousin Madison, and Uncle Brunelli. Bubbe, Zeyde, and Cousin Hunter were right down the road. We did all sorts of fun things, but most importantly, we spent lots of quality time together as a big family since we usually do not get these opportunities. See some fun pics from vacation below, the beach photos will follow soon:

3 naked jaybirds getting a bath after a day at the pool.

I loved my balloon flower from Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, but it was so hot outside it popped in the car on the way home!

Playing with Uncle Nick at the Beach Condo.....I sure do miss him and everyone else.

My first taste of real milk was on vacation.....not sure if I like this!

On second thought....that stuff is pretty good.....give it here..

My first carousel ride, mommy was holding onto me for dear life! I loved this!

You Only Turn One Once

Needless to say we were very excited about Abigail's 1st Birthday. We planned a big pool party and lots of family came to visit including her Bubbe, Zeyde, Cousin Hunter, Mamaw, Papaw, Aunt Chrissie and Uncle Adam, Cousin Julia, Uncle Nick and Aunt Kristen, Cousin Madison, Mamaw Shirley and Papaw Jack, Uncle Brunelli, and Great Aunts Deb and Carolyn...whew what a mouthful!!!!! We had all her good friends there to celebrate and I was worried she would be scared by all the hoopla, but she just loved it! See all the pics below from her Splish Splash Birthday Bash:

Mommy made sure I had my own little cake to sink my six teeth into!


I am so lucky!!!! Look at all my 1st Birthday presents.......

Mommy and Daddy sang to me for my Birthday and they were so proud of me for being such a big girl now!


Mamaw Duffee and Cousin Madison had a great time at the Lake Carolina pool.


While mommy was busy getting my party together, me and my Bubbe had our own party in the baby pool!

At the Playground

We took a short getaway to the Lake awhile ago and Abigail had lots of fun. She picnicked, played at the park, went out to eat, and of course was walking everywhere because she had just learned. See below pics:
Daddy and me feeding the lake ducks....quack...quack.

Picnicking in my stroller....see how well I drink out of the sippy cup.
