A last minute getaway!

So I had big plans to go be with my little sister at the birth of her first baby in March, but as I got talking to Miguel and evaluating the situation, we decided now would be the best time for me to go. So I was extra sneaky and flew home to surprise her at her baby shower. But the only way Miguel was going to let me get away with it is if I found sitters for my kids and totally prepped him before I left.

I washed and packed outfits for each day I would be gone, for each girl, and labeled them all so there would be no confusion. I felt awesome at the end of the day when I got this big project done.

 I left cute little notes and treats from me, in their bags, so each day they would be reminded of how much I loved them. (I know Mommy is spelled funny. We spell it the spanish way around here thanks to a Dora book I read when Gabriela was little. It's just habit now.)

 This is my beautiful baby sister, Cortney, and I before the shower began. She's due in like 4 weeks! I'm so jealous.

 My aunt and grandmother were totally shocked when they saw me as well. It was so fun to see the lightbulb come on and their faces light up when it registered who was standing in front of them.

 This is me and my two sisters. You would never know we were related. I'm obviously the runt of the litter.

 My sister had a great turnout at her shower and now she's set for baby Bentley to arrive. Doesn't she look happy.

 After church on Sunday, and a nap afterwards, my mom treated me and my sisters to an amazing southern dinner. We've got creamed corn, country fried steak, crescants, mashed potatoes, green beans, and fried ocra. And to top it off, she had the most amazing cupcakes I've ever put in my mouth. They were banana bread cupcakes with peanut butter cream cheese frosting. Heavenly! I was also able to visit with my childhood best friend Ereca. She recently moved back to GA with her family from Las Vegas and was insistant that I move back too.

 There's the cook herself! My sweet Mama! I seriously love this woman to death. She is my best friend....well, her and Miguel that is. Thanks for a great time everyone!
