As you know, every year the girls I studied abroad with in Madrid get together for a reunion. This year was extra special because Cheryl was able to come--we haven't seen her in 9 years(!) because she lives abroad. It was so great to have her join in the festivities!
Here are pics from previous reunions. 2009 and 2008 and 2007.
Addie SO excited to welcome her friends Shannon and Kelly! :)
Sharing my lap :)
It was a gorgeous weekend so we spent a lot of time outside.
Practicing gymnastics...
...the slide...
...giving George a ride...
Then Steve surprised the girls by riding the Barbie Jeep out from the shed
Shannon was chauffeur to Addie ...
...and Kelly
Addie and Shannon invented a new game with the water table which consisted of, you know, sticking one foot in the water then making footprints. Pretty fun game...if you're 2 and a half :)
There was a rousing round of Ring a around the Rosie
Simon says (or was it, Kelly says...)
Cheryl had fun snuggling with baby Cole
The girls loved having their meals together
Bottoms up!
Kelly was cool hanging out in the high chair--She'll join the big girls at the table next year :)
The adults had spanish tapas--ordered in from a nearby restaurant...yay patatas bravas!
The girls took yet another bath together. Please feel free to revisit their first bath experience together--I can't believe that they both fit in that infant tub and I also can't believe how roly poly Addie used to be!
Notice who has the duck...
...and now who has it. Unfortunately, this scene of the girls both crying happened quite a bit this weekend. It was typical toddler-doesn't-want-to-share stuff. Yeah...
Luckily they still love each other very much despite their occasional tiffs.
There was some relaxing over the weekend....
...and some general chaos.
We played a LOT of dress-up
Even the "grownups" took part in the dress-up fun.
Addie and Shannon helped Steve make his traditional Sunday-morning pancake breakfast
And we took a walk in the nearby Rock Creek Park
All in all, a very fun, very busy, tiring but wonderful weekend.
Jodi, Alexandra, Brette, Me, and Cheryl
Ladies, I had a blast! I hope we do this for many years to come. MWAH!

You summed up my life well: "And some general chaos"
We had so much fun. Was this really just last weekend?!?!
