The Christening - Day 1

We awoke Thursday morning to the sound of little feet running through the cottage. Little feet that were anxious to get outside and check out the playset that was conveniently left behind by the previous owners.

Miss A is getting so big. It's hard to believe she is a seasoned four year old who can swing on her own and touch the sky.

Yes, that's a dirty face. It's not even 8 am and he hasn't had his breakfast yet. I think he woke up with it that way.

There was a boat ride with Pappy.

Allie shied away from taking the wheel but the G-man was game.

She didn't shy away from fishing. Our little princess loves her some fishing and she'll bait her own hook too.

Of course the paparazzi was out in full force.

How can you not love this face?

Fishing with Dad.

The water was a little too cool for the adults in the crowd but the kiddos were anxious to wade on in.

Allie has become such a caring and protective big sister. She keeps her eye on little bro and tries to keep him out of harms way.

By the time the sun set on day number one, everyone was exhausted. We all needed our rest because tomorrow Uncle Chris will be here.

And the party will be on.
