Memorial Day

I love my family! Clark had scheduled a trip with his buddies from high school over Memorial Day weekend awhile ago, so he was going to be in town for a few days. I was excited for Leila to get to meet Uncle Clark. Once Anie found out that Clark was coming for the weekend, she decided it would be the perfect weekend to come up with the girls. Then Bobby found out that they were both coming and he had to jump on the bandwagon, joining us with Amy and Matthew. It was so great to have 3 of my siblings meet Leila and it was a great weekend all around.

Clark was the first to arrive. Leila immediately took to her Uncle Clarkie and enjoyed lots of snuggles and even a nap with him.


For some reason I got no pictures of Leila with Uncle Bobby, Aunt Amy, or Aunt Anie which totally bums be out but for the record she loved being held by all these uncles and aunts all weekend! She also got LOTS of cousin time. Madi and Elle just doted over her and Cal kept saying "baby" over and over whenever he saw her. ADORABLE!

My talented sister was so generous with her time and had several photo shoots with Leila. Those will be revealed on a later post but I couldn't resist posting this gem. Love these three girls!

The best part of the weekend was just enjoying every minute of this family time. 
Leila's first walk...she LOVED it!

Leila loves spending time with Gram...
...or maybe not. "Gram if you keep kissing me so much I'm going to put this fist in your face!"

Taking naps with Daddy on his day off.

Meeting Auntie Michelle for the first time.

Grandma Evans and Great Grandma Passey time.

Hanging out with her "big" cousin Jack...they are really bonding.

Leila had to meet Grandma Vicki and Papa Tom too. 
She LOVED all this snuggle time!
Leila was completely worn out after all the lovin' this weekend. We couldn't be more grateful for such amazing family. It is such a wonderful feeling to see your child be so loved by so many people. I loved seeing each member of family with my new baby and am so happy we had this weekend together. Can't wait for the family reunion coming up! Better rest up in the meantime!
