Memorial Day Weekend!

Cora's first Memorial Day!  Even though she doesn't quite grasp the significance yet, she still had a total blast celebrating, and so did we.  We are so grateful for all the men and women who sacrifice their lives for ours.  I LOVE America and all things patriotic!

On Friday we met my family for dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday . . .




We spent the rest of the holiday with the Paweleks because David was in town from Colorado!  This was the first time that all of the Pawelek siblings have been together since Joe and Casey's wedding last July.  It felt so good to have everyone together!  We went down to the coast to celebrate.  

We were nervous about how she would do, but Cora loved the beach!! She spent her first day in a cute bathing suit from her Godmother.  Michael's parents brought a tent for her to hang out in.  It was perfect because it blocked her from the wind and sun!  She enjoyed being in her bouncy chair and laying down in the inflatable pool. . .





She loved all the attention she got from her aunts and uncles. 






She practiced her smile a lot . . .



The second day she was outfitted in all of  her new beach gear from Grams . . .





Our little girl has turned into quite the beach bum!



Here is the whole gang . . .


It was so much fun to be with everyone again!  It reminded me of how lucky I am to be a part of this wonderful family!
