resurrecting the camera

I've been horrible about taking pictures lately. And I rarely take my (big) camera out of the house anymore. But this week I've actually pulled out the camera a few times and taken some shots around the house. Last Friday Kevin and I got to celebrate our 14th anniversary! The real date was actually back in July, but Kevin was out of town at the time. PTL for friends who offered to babysit! We had a great evening out together. I'm so thankful for my man and our 14 years together. Grace actually took this picture and felt like big stuff for getting to use mom's camera.
This week some friends said, "Let's have a tea party!" So we did! It was great fun and was Grace's first "real" tea party. You know, with real cups and plates instead of plastic ones. Ha! We had the tea party at our house since Trinity was napping, but my friend brought all the beautiful tableware. It made me realize that while I have actual cups and saucers in storage in America, I've never purchased such items here. Glad my friend had some! We had a great time together. Grace opted for juice instead of tea but told me later that she "held her pinky up" to be fancy. Wish I'd taken note at the time!
I love that my girls love books. And I love that Kevin is such a great daddy!
This morning I went to take some video of the girls and they ended up watching several home movies on my flip phone. They laughed and laughed at themselves.
Nana and Pappaw sent a package with some fun matchy clothes. Thank you so much Nana and Pappaw!
As for the rest of these pictures? Well, no explanation needed. Let me just say once more, we do NOT lack for personality at our house. (Or drama for that matter, but I won't go into detail to protect the privacy of said drama queens.) I love my girls and despite some drama each day, we have so much fun together. We almost always go outside each morning but today we just played with toys and read and had a great time laughing together. I am so blessed to have these babes.

Wonderful, wonderful blog. These pictures help with not being able to be with you regularly. You two are still a handsome couple. Glad you got to celebrate your 14th
anniversary with just you two. Nana
ps.Grace is a budding photographer. It is obvious she got it from her mother.
