Celebration Weekend

We took this picture right before we told Nathan's parents the news.
The weekend after we got a "yes" to the twins, our dear parents and precious friends made the trip to Birmingham to celebrate with us! Nathans parents are also in tax season so it was a huge sacrifice for them to make the trip. Since we've heard about the girls, we've been so humbled by how boldly and authentically people have loved on us! It has brought us to tears...well maybe just me, Nathan just had something in his eye. :) many times over peoples' goodness to us....sweet gifts and cards in the mail, sweet treats for celebration at discipleship, showers planned ...we're just blown away! Back to Birmingham- We got to spend Friday night with Kendall, Lindsay and their twins. Have I mentioned that our girls will have first cousin twins just 10 weeks older? Such a blessing! They are so super fun...we loved getting to catch up.

Then Saturday my parents arrived around 9:30...so sweet considering they live almost 3 hours from Kendall and Lindsay. Then Nathan's parents weren't far behind (also about a 3 hour drive) We had a great time talking about the girls, then we had lunch at Edgar's Bakery. My parents had these shirts made for us to wear that day. Can you tell they were excited?! :)
Mama's sweet friend Dawn made the shirts for us!

We then made our first trip to Buy Buy Baby to look around and went to the hotel. Around 5:00 my friends, Liz, Tammi, Jennifer and Alicia arrived!! Liz and Tammi from Tupelo/Booneville; Jennifer and Alicia from Jackson...how great are they to make the trip to celebrate! We had dinner at Surin 280 and they showered us with gifts for the girls!
I had to "disguise" the picture of the girls since we can't post them on social media yet...that caused the picture to stretch for some reason...you get the idea. :)
Think the front of the table didn't get the memo we were taking a picture. :)
It was such a blessing to get to celebrate with the people we love. Baby Girls, you're already so loved by so many!
