We spent the weekend in Richmond, VA with our good friends, the Sneads! Last time we were there in October, Tyler wasn't crawling yet. Fast forward to February and the little guy was definitely on the move! He wasn't going to just sit back and take nonsense from Madison this trip. Which means we had some really funny moments between the two of them. (Madison has a boo-boo on her finger and wanted to eat the bandaids, which meant the whole finger had to be wrapped up.)
We drove up Friday night, late, and Madison did SO well in the car. Slept the majority of the way there. Got there around 2:30 AM and Mad played with some of Tyler's toys while Tyler slept, then we all headed off to bed. On Saturday morning, the two little ones finally got to see each other! They played together for awhile, then all six of us piled into ONE car for the drive to Arlington for Claire's first birthday party! Didn't take long before the little ones konked out, which made the ride up pretty nice
(not so much for the ride BACK).Claire's party was SO much fun! All the little ones seemed to really have a good time with each other. They played really hard,
ate some cake,
(each child had their very own cupcake, complete with their own name! Thanks to Jamie)
and then they all actually took NAPS at the same time!

Then, after the party, we all went out to eat at a yummy Mexican restaurant. Mad did pretty well and ate lots of her chicken quesadilla, but the exhaustion from the day was starting to wear her down. So by the time we got to the car, 
we figured the little ones would fall right asleep. (After a quick front-seat diaper change!)

Tyler fell asleep. Madison wanted to sit and chat for awhile. Ends up waking Tyler up, who is NOT happy about this. Tyler cries for the next hour and Mad yells AT him. Quite a peaceful trip.
Next day was Super Bowl Sunday. The little ones dressed in their Sunday football best. Before the big game, Travis & Stephen took the little ones for a wagon ride to the park (Excellent practice for the wedding in May. Mad & Tyler are going to be the flower girl & ringbearer and are riding down the aisle in a wagon together!)
...then we all came back and had some dinner before the game came on. Mad & Tyler split a tuna & black olive sandwich and a ham & black olive sandwich. Quite the fans of black olives, they are.Madison was an angel on the ride home that night. So glad we got to spend the weekend with the Sneads & were able to celebrate Claire's birthday with everyone as well!
