Colossians 3:12-15a

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.

This is Laila, Mackenzie's sweet, sweet friend. They LOVE each other so much!! Whenever we get together the two of them run into each other's arms. Makes my heart melt!

We had Laila over today to play and to have a little birthday cupcake with my two princesses....yes, Conner is still playing dress up! He just wants to do what his big sister is doing and he loves playing with these 2 girly girls!



A princess hug! The three beautiful and...ummm...handsome princesses:)


If you're interested...here's a small world story. Courtney, Laila's mommy, and I were friends years ago. We went to church together right after Jeremy and I got married. Fast forward 5+ years and we realized through a random connection that we live 5 minutes from each other in Austin. Such a God thing!!

Our Princess Is 4!

Every year when we celebrate one of my babies' birthdays, I am always amazed at how fast time has flown by. I now have a toddler and a preschooler (or 'big girl' as Mackenzie refers to herself). 4-years old! And she's the sweetest 4-year old ever!!

We had a wonderful weekend filled with birthday celebrations! We are so thankful for such an amazing family that could help us celebrate our precious Kiki!!

The morning began with an Ariel candle at breakfast. Mackenzie has been asking for one for about 3 months now. Finally! She got one!



A Tiana doll and princess stickers from baby brother

Oh boy, the beloved Rapunzel dress! (she hasn't taken it off since last Friday!)



Ha! I told her to open her eyes more when she smiled and this is what I got. I love it!!

Mommy had fun that morning creating "Rapunzel" hair. She's my little doll:)

Nana, Papa and Yaya (Angela, my sister) came in town for the celebration!



A Princess Tea Set! The perfect gift, Yaya!!!

Conner discovered Angela's belly button ring and tried really hard to pull it out. It was hilarious!


Ariel!!

Princess, princess, princess! This girl now has a princess dress up outfit for everyday of the week from her Gigi!

And low and behold, I have 2 princesses! My sweet little boy is loving playing dress up! His whole demeanor changes once he gets his dress, crown and shoes on. He'll even doing a little ballet turn with his arms above his head. So sweet, innocent and precious! Don't you dare make fun of my little princess man:)




A princess "big girl" bike from Nana and Papa!

Yes, the other princess wanted to try it as well!


Hiding while signing "Happy Birthday." Typical!
