Happy Memorial Day

So today was picture day...it went better than the last session w/Gabriela & Emalyn! This time I planned ahead and brought skittles to bribe Gabriela between each pose :) It worked for 4 and then she was done. The photographer wanted to do more and I assured her 9-10 pictures was plenty for this group (plus it makes it much easier for me to narrow them down at the end!). Bren wasn't too excited about this "train" idea and it shows :) but we got Ema laughing, so I got it.
Gabriela loved this one because Isa was her horse. She was a little disappointed when she realized that they weren't really going anywhere...

This was our first pose, so everyone was happy and it showed!!

There is nothing wrong with your eyes or the color of the computer-this coloring of this photo is called "vintage" and I like it, however, Danny thinks it's weird. I think this is my favorite one.

Later we headed off to Maple View ice cream in Hillsborough, NC because we've been here 4 years and haven't done it yet! The ice cream was great and the kids had fun.

Bren & Isa stuck w/chocolate & vanilla, but as we were leaving Brendan saw "egg nog" ice cream and decided we're coming back one more time.
While I was finishing up my sundae, the girls ran off and Gabriela climbed the haystack (no surprise) so Isa cautiously joined her for the picture.

We have been here for 4 yrs as well and have never made it there or Loco Pops. Maybe I can convince the husband! Looks like tons of fun
