Dogwood Azalea Festival 2011

Dogwood Azalea Festival is another one of my most fun weekends of the year. I really do love my hometown of Charleston and it definitely looks it's finest on DAF weekend. It was super cold on Saturday for the parade, but lovely weather on Sunday for the race (check back for that post).

I had a hard time getting Nate to even take a picture at the parade, but finally snuck one by him.

Lila wore this precious sweater that Scott's Aunt Bonnie gave to her when she was born. It is so cute!! I'm glad that she got to wear it to this special occasion (you know - it is a small town so we like to show off our babies at DAF).

Sometimes my camera strap gets in the way of my pictures. And it seems like I take good pictures when that happens. It's funny like that. This one is no exception. Lila "putin" with Debbie.

My Nana & Grandpa gave Emily this John Deere tractor on her 2nd birthday (I think 2nd). The label is still on the front of it "Happy Birthday Emily." My Grandpa loved a label maker. Truly, he labeled everything. Hamil told a story this weekend that he still finds labels in his house and some of them just say "Mine." As in, Blondie, don't touch. He called my Nana, Blondie. Anyway, here's my Nate on the tractor. He says it always needs oil. And he's right :)
