[Cagney] Family...

A couple of weekends ago, I had an opportunity to do a family photoshoot for our next-door neighbors, Fergal & Carrie, and Carrie's family that was visiting.  They rented a nice big house down on North Topsail Beach (not far from where we live) for the week.  There were 14 of them, including 6 energetic kids!  :)

Here are some of my faves from the day:

Cora Beth turns 5!

Wow, can't believe 5 years have passed since this sweet girl was born.  My niece's birthday party was last weekend so we made the trip to Lexington and had a great time celebrating...

 

I would like to mention how upset with myself I STILL am for forgetting my camera at my mom's house before heading to the party.  I remembered to bring it with us on the trip, but between remembering gifts and ice cream, stuff for Deacon, etc. I forgot.the.dang.camera.

 

So these photos were taken with my phone/instagram.  And that's okay in a pinch.  I just really wish I'd had my camera.  It is what it is, though.  The important thing is that she (and we) had a good time at her party.

Bear turns 2!

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity-dog!  Any Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fans out there??  Ooo, we are, we are!  Our nephew, Bear, turned 2 years old last month and my brother and sister-in-law threw him a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed birthday party at their house.  It was fun!  I think everyone had a great time...
