i'm an aunt!

it's funny that with the number of siblings that tommy and i have between us (thirteen) that only one of them has kids. (okay, several of our siblings still have single-digit ages, but still.) lindsay, tommy's older sister, has our only niece and nephews, and luckily, they're living in washington d.c. for the next six months. so we went up there for a really quick weekend trip to see the cutest niece and nephews you could ask for.

their twins are the stars of the leininger family right now. they've gotten so big and chunky and we're just a little bit obsessed with their adorable going-out outfits. i wanted to just eat them up. okay, be serious: you've never seen anything this cute.

and mayah and asher were pretty darn cute too.

and we went to see mount vernon. we love the original george w.

(do you like how tommy and travis are each carrying a baby? someone could get the wrong impression here.)

we LOVE having family so close! we're going to go up as often as we can to take advantage of having family that's only a 3.5 hour drive away. we plan to go up over our spring break for a good amount of time so we can play with those kids some more. and hopefully visit hundreds more historical sites.

cheeks + outfits = spectacular! I'm very jealous of your aunt status.
