Eleanor helped us get ready the night before people came over. We all met at our house to have dinner as people arrived. Eleanor's favorite "cleaning" activity is vacuuming with her popper while someone else vacuums.
Then Eleanor and Hannah got to meet their friend Stella for the first time!
One of the benefits of renting the timeshare was access to a pool, which we took advantage of several times.
We also spent a bit of time exploring Colonial Williamsburg and William & Mary's campus, which we all call home.
One of our roomies, Stina, gave the girls matching romper outfits and we of course had to take adorable pictures of them in them :)
And, perhaps my favorite picture of the weekend because it displays my child's personality so perfectly, a picture of the group in front of the Wren Building. I asked Eleanor to sit with the group and she adamantly refused, but was still perfectly happy to be a part of the picture as long as she could do her own thing. I knew if I went over to get her, she'd end up in tears, so I figured, whatever, it will be funny to look back on, and it certainly is.
We had an awesome weekend spending time with all our friends and were so sad to see them go when the weekend ended. We may have to make this an annual thing!

It's so great that you were all able to get together; it looks like you all had a great time! You are such a great mom and clearly choose your battles wisely ;) So fun to see the next generation of girls together.
Love how you all remain so close after so many years. And I love the growing families. The rompers are adorable and I feel like I've met Stella!
Thank you so much for hosting us! We can't wait for the next one :) Loved watching our daughters play together <3
