Loooove family time

Yesterday afternoon, after Clara's siesta, Grady, Marissa, Molly, Mom, Meemaw and Papaw all showed up for some visiting and baby-loving time :) It was so, so nice.

Meemaw reading to Clara, and Clara growling back :)


If you'd like to see a video of Clara growling, check this one out:
It's from a few days ago, but it's so stinkin' funny!

When Molly woke up from her nap and got her out of the carseat, Clara was a little concerned that someone else needed her Lulu. Mom let them both have some lap-time, and Clara got a chance to check out her cousin up close and personal again. She even offered Molly some water. So considerate :)


At first Clara wasn't too sure if she should get close to Papaw, which cracked us all up. But before long she was sharing her books with him too. He made sure to make all the animal noises, so of course she played along!


Phew. Reading and playing is hard work. Better rest next to Maverick.


Kisses for puppy! (ewww)


Sweet Molly and her mommy.
Notice Molly is wearing the first "real" outfit Clara ever wore from the hospital.
Leah - you gave that to Clara I think!!


Some Meemaw and Lulu love on their grand and great-grand babies:


Love, love, love!!


Both great-grand-daughters!


:)


B with Molly-Pop:


After a little while, Marissa accompanied me to Hobby Lobby since I'm in charge of centerpieces for MOPS this year .... and I only have 2 weeks left to figure out what I'm going to do and get them together :-/
Taking CB to Hobby Lobby is ZERO fun these days, because she wants to touch everything and run around. Not gonna happen - too much is breakable there!!
So Meemaw, Lulu, Papaw and Uncle G held down the fort with the 3 dogs and 2 girls, and we made a crafting trip!

When we got back both girls were snoozing away:


Then Papa showed up just in time for loving on a now-awake Molly!


Once both girls were awake, and Bryan got home from work, all 9 of us headed out to get some Tex-Mex.

Playing the unpack-the-bag game with Meemaw and Papa:


Marissa, Grady, Molly-in-the-carseat, Meemaw and Papaw

Bryan, Papa, Clara, Lulu & Katy

Helping Papa pick out something to eat for dinner.


Mmmm, margaritas!


Double-fisting some citrus! Lemon or orange? BOTH!


This seriously cracked me up. She wanted to "dip" her crackers like we do chips into the salsa. So we got her a little cheese and she dipped it just like the grown-ups. 
These imitation skills are amazing!!


Loving on Auntie M with Uncle G behind her:


Such a nice sunset to walk out to on the way home. It was past squirt's bedtime, so off we went.


It was a really wonderful afternoon/evening for me.
Maybe it's because everyone else was taking care of Clara so I got to visit with everyone?
I don't know, but thank you for coming!! 
It sure is fun to see Clara and Molly together!
