Gigi and Grandpa (my grandparents) weren't able to come to Tennessee to be with all of us, but they still tried to send some fun goodies for our kids to enjoy. They sent my mom with some fun games, crayons, paper, etc. One other thing they provided for the kids was an "Un-Birthday" party. The cousins never get to be together for their birthdays and us Aunts, Uncles, and Mimi and Papi never get to see all the kids on their birthdays. So, we did one big party for all of them. One afternoon while the kids were having rest time, we decorated the room with balloons, pulled out the party hats and blowers, set out the cake and goody bags, and surprised the kids. They loved it!!
After everyone finished their "Un-birthday" cake and the chocolate covered pretzel "candles", we went to play some mini golf...another exciting surprise for the kids!:
We even got to spend some time on the playground next to the golf course:
While dinner was grilling, the kids got to play with their goody bag toys outside:
I think the party was a big hit with the kids (and the adults too)!

The next day we had another extremely fun day planned! We started the morning by walking to a playground near our rooms. The kids got to play and also see some huge turtles and fish in the pond nearby. Zane practiced hitting some golf balls and some of the kids took turns riding on Ellie's scooter.
Aunt Nichole was probably texting Uncle Warren since we missed him...he wasn't able to get off work to come to Tennessee:
After playing at the playground, we walked home to eat some lunch before our next appointments. The guys had a tee time and left to go golfing:
The girls and kids (minus Aunt Kirsten who had to stay back to let Violet take her nap) left for our appointment. Mimi made arrangements for the grandkids to go horseback riding! I'm pretty sure the kids all LOVED it! I know we kept having to remind Bryson to hold on with both hands because he kept letting go to pet his horse:
And the best way we could think to end this fun filled day was to give the kids one big bath together!
