WARNING: Photo Overload Ahead...

My mother-in-law came to visit for a week and a half so I haven't had the time to blog as much since we were enjoying our time with her. So to catch up and share all the fun we've been having I'm going to make a HUGE post with TONS of pictures. You might want to get comfy for this one, lol.

We were all so excited to be able to spend time with Grandma.
That night Jordan pulled out a few games to play with Grandma. First Candyland. Then Sequence Kids.
Here they are playing Candyland...

We enjoyed our traditional trip to Fayetteville for some antique shopping and lunch. It was a beautiful day and we were lucky enough to be there for a jazz concert on the square. What a treat! Speaking of treats. You can not go to downtown Fayetteville and not stop by The Chocolate Cafe. A little taste of heaven for sure. I'm drooling thinking about it. Kristi has new flavors. Kiwi Lime truffle and Candy Apple caramel. Yummy!

Marilynn took this one of all us with her new camera!

There are so many colored doors and cool walls but would my daughter pose for me? Nope. This was as good as it got, lol.

The big girls had a girl's day out shopping at the mall. Thanks to Marilynn we have pictures.

Eveyone picked out a sent and lip gloss at Bath and Body Works.

Then we found the perfect dresses at Belk. At 40% off we got a great deal! No pics of the dresses we ended up buying. I'll post some Easter pictures soon!

After we found the pefect dress, the girls got hair cuts.

Great photos! I love wonderful everyday life photos! The girls look so adorable in their new haircuts. So grown up!

Holy cow, I am not even kidding, I didn't know that was Natalie in her "after" shot when I first saw it! I just kept scrolling (and scrolling and scrolling...haha) down through the top post to get through all the pictures trying to find the beginning of this post since you said to start there. Well, I guess I missed the heading of this post and kept going down until I saw Natalie (who I didn't recognize) and thought "oh, Rachel must have done a photo shoot for someone. Then I saw Aryn's after picture and thought, "oh I guess Aryn and a friend were being models for Rachel to practice on" until I saw the pics above where it was Aryn and Natalie looking at haircut magazines! Wow! Maybe it is partially the angle too, but she looks really different with bangs! Beautiful girls! Looks like you had a blast! Can't wait to see their Easter dresses. Sorry this is a novel...but then again so are these photo overload posts, so what do you expect? :)

It sure was fun to go shopping with the girls. The first pictures that I took with my camera turned out pretty good. Good memories of our time together.
