Weekend trip to Savannah

We headed on down to Savannah to James' place of employment to attend a small family air show that they had put on for us. They had a bunch of planes and we thought Hadley (and James) would very much enjoy it. This was Hadley's bed set up at the hotel, we were very pleased to find out we had the couch pull out because it's easier to make sure hadley won't fall out.

We had gotten up at 4:30 am to head down to Savannah and woke the kid up. She wouldn't sleep in the car at any point or lay down for a nap, so this is the result.... a kid asleep at 6:30pm..... 

the waitress had no idea she was even down there, she looked at us pretty strangely when we ordered food for our kid

oh and don't wake a sleeping kid for dinner either..... SUPER cranky

The next day all refreshed, we headed to the air show! It unexpectedly decided to RAIN the whole day so that was kinda a bummer but we made the most of it.

I booked the hotel we stayed at mostly for the indoor pool (which worked out well because it was very chilly outside-more on that in a second). I chose to stay in the hot tub with my wine and let James handle the pool.

family selfie in the elevator, of course!

We headed downtown to our favorite spot! Wet Willies! They have the best frozen drinks (alcoholic and non for the little one). One of the best parts of Savannah, is being able to just walk downtown with your beverage. Makes it convenient when they have music playing outside.

We headed on over for some pizza to conclude the day. Next time we are down there, Hadley has requested we ride the trolley (mostly because of daniel tiger....) 

Jen and David happened to be in Tybee at the beach that weekend so we swung on by while James finished up working.... turned out to be SUPER freezing so we literally stayed at the beach for two minutes.....

too bad because Hadley was ready to stay

brrrrrrrr

Easter festivities!

We had a pretty full March. Hadley and I discovered we had (almost) matching military green jackets. We also solidified our relationships of being bests :)

Hadley is also besties with Maddie and Maddie likes it most of the time, not sure if the picture below was one of those times.....

I squeezed in my first refinishing job! I did most of the work myself but James came in at the end to just help a bit. We've had this table about 9 years. I hated it since the day I bought it but we needed a table and it has fit in every space/house we've ever had. It was cheap and we needed a table so that is why we have it, haha. It had a lot of scratches and heat spots on the top so we decided to refinish it. The top came out really nice and then I decided I wanted it to look more like a farm house (square) table. James distressed the legs a bit and I could not be more pleased with our table! It's definitely way better than it was, and until we get a new house with a formal dining room, it will surely do! 

This is outfit number 1 for Easter festivities. We attended a kid easter egg hunt and it was a tad chilly so we opted for her pantsuit.

So excited!

We had to get maddie in on the pictures :)

action shot, it was on nice turf

Easter outfit #2

Her cousin was equally as excited! Coco was wearing the dress Hadley wore two years back, so adorable.

We were off to my sister's neighborhood Spring festival. They had a super legit balloon animal artist... this was her Ariel.... amazing and lasted a few weeks!

Her other cousin, Max, after the egg hunt! Although we did not get "the golden egg" it was still a blast!

So pretty

Hadley insists from time to time to have braids so here she is in her "fishing" attire.

Hadley's Great Grandmom sent her these SUPER cute Easter bunny earrings in the mail and she was ecstatic to wear them! She loves a good clip earring and these were perfect. Hadley is quite the jewelry fashion girl.

Obligatory Easter bunny photo.... She went willingly but her face does look a bit terrified.

Easter cousins (outfit #3) on the actual Easter. Max with his girls

The parentless children. Their parents caught the stomach bug and could not make the festivities and the family party had to be moved to my house. I lysol sprayed the kids before leaving their house (I picked them up) and then wiped down their hands PLUS made them wash before they could come in haha, I am not kidding and nobody else ended up sick! (coco did like a week later).

James' birthday ended up being ON easter this year so he had to share some spotlight. Contrary to what the picture makes you believe, he did not turn 31 but there are two other candles that are hiding behind each other. Hadley is always about birthdays because she is a serious cake/ice cream connoisseur. So it was fitting that she chose an ice-cream cake for him. 

Our other cousins came for the Easter/bday party and baby Owen had to endure some dolls and tiaras :)

We had an eventful March with lots of fun.
