Beach and Birthday Bash

For Jeff and Angela's birthday (which just happened to be Spring Break for the Missouri cousins), we got to celebrate by going to the beach with most of Jeff's family. I don't have enough room here to post all of the fabulous pictures that we took at the beach, but here are a few of my favorites. It was cold and windy and definitely not ideal beach weather, but we didn't care. It was so good to see everyone and enjoy some quality family time making memories that we will never forget.

 At Dan Nichols State Park having fun.

 Addie couldn't get enough of Lexi the whole trip. :) And of course Lexi loved all the attention.

 Kaitlyn and Lexi snuggled up watching the sun rise.

 All the cousins with Jeff not quite hiding in the back. :) We got some with him fully hidden but this one is my favorite.

 And the whole crew (minus Grandpa). The driftwood at this particular beach was amazing!

 Jeff's mini-me :) 

 Proof that the kids didn't care that it was only about 55 degrees outside. They had a blast racing the waves as they hit the shore and just being together. 

And finally, the birthday kids. I wish I had enough room to post the succession of pictures that lead up to this one! :) And don't forget to notice that yummy cake.
