My Newest Niece

This morning, my brother Brian, his wife Natacha and their two girls Micaela and Camille came over for a little photo shoot. I haven't taken pictures of a newborn in a long time, so I felt a little rusty, but it was so fun. How cute is baby Camille?!
Micaela is a doting sister. She was very willing to give her baby sister little kisses and love.



And another one of their whole family...



After the photos were done, we all headed over to a local gelato shop for some yummy treats. We met up with our friend Amber and the kids all had fun getting even more hyper with the extra sugar. The gelato place does a fun little craft on Wednesdays for the kids. Today's craft was making their scoop of gelato into a porcupine with gumball eyes, a milk dud nose, and pretzels. Micaela was proud of her creation, and just couldn't ruin it by eating it. Brynn didn't seem to mind digging into hers though.

This evening, we got to see them all again when we met up for dinner. Brian, Natacha, Micaela, Camille, Natacha's sister Angie, my parents and Dave and the kids and I all went to a fun little restaurant that has been converted from an old house. The place has a fun retro feel to it, and many of their ingredients come from their farm next door. Its a pretty kid-friendly place and there is outdoor eating with lots of grass to run around. Brynn and Micaela had fun collecting sticks and chasing each other. Collin was loving the extra independence himself. Its been so fun having Brian and Natacha's family in town!
