Best friend reunion

This was the third annual family reunion weekend of the girls who have been my best friends since we were itty bitties. Between the four of us on this weekend, we had nine kids and one on the way. Our first night, everyone came over here for a cookout- it was so fun to see all these sweet kids together!
Abby Jane and Hannah, the two five year old girls.
My precious friends! Time with these women feed my soul in the deepest way, the way that only happens when folks can read your mind and know what you're trying to say better than you do.
Joy with Eli, Hannah's twin. So yes, two sets of twins there!
Nope, you're not seeing double. This is just Blythe's real twin, Whitney's daughter Bella, who was also three here.
Bella and Blythey go together like peas in a pod. They both love pink, they both love being fancy, they both have fabulous hair, and they both answer to Boo!

It was a packed weekend of parks and house hopping. This is at Katie's neighborhood park- Abby Jane (5), Blythe (3), Carlton (Katie's- 3), Bella (Whitney's- 3), Clara (Katie's- 2), Joy (3), Eli and Hannah (Betsy's- 5), and Jackson (Whitney-10 months).
One of the highlights was when Jake took care of our three girls plus Whitney's two, so all four of us girlfriends could go to breakfast with Keri, the woman who has mentored us since 8th grade. We were thankful for superdad allowing us that precious time with an amazing woman who walked us through such incredibly shaping years.
Beyond thankful for these women and for the unspeakable blessing their friendship is and love our reunion weekends where we get to do life and have our kids deepen their friendships!
