Cousins: Little to Big!

Earlier this month we went to Macon in order to celebrate 3 family Birthdays Michael's, Mary Ellen's and Laura's. The twins had a blast as usual because they absolutely LOVE being around their cousins. They instantly have smiles on their faces when they see their big cousins and are entertained all day by their craziness at Grandma's house. Gracie and Bailey also will eat anything if it is fed to them by their cousins. Michael, Molly Kay, Addie Mae, Andy and Lauren are all such great helpers that I think I am going to put a bid on them for the summer months!

As much as I love seeing Gracie and Bailey interact with their cousins, I am SO excited to announce that they are going to be BIG COUSINS! Preston's brother, Parker and his wife Nicole are expecting a sweet baby girl around March 22. At the end of the month they hosted a "gender party" where they announced that the baby was going to be a girl and that she is going to be named Mary Elizabeth McFarland. We are looking forward to meeting Mary Elizabeth and introducing her to the craziness of cousins! I have been practicing with the twins in order to prepare for Mary Elizabeth's arrival. We "love" our baby doll and practice giving her hugs and kisses. So far we are still licking the baby's forward, giving it extra drooly kisses and carrying her around by her leg and so it looks like we have lots of practicing to do!
