HAPPY AUNT & UNCLE DAY!!!
Never heard of Aunt & Uncle Day? Its ok if you haven't... we made it up. :) If you have been following our story for this past year, you may remember last year's first Aunt & Uncle holiday. We (Sean and I) decided to start this tradition and make it an annual holiday in our family, as a means to remember Whitney. April 16th was Whitney's due date, and although she came into our arms a few months before that, we still wanted to remember the day.
This year we are so excited to celebrate the aunts and uncles who love both Whitney and Gianna so much! Though most of their aunts & uncles have yet to hold either of them (except for Megan, who did get to hold Whitney when she was born)-- Whitney in heaven and Gia here on earth-- they love our girls so much, and we are so thankful for them!!
Sean and I decided to make some special cookies for the Aunts & Uncles this year. You can look back at our post from last year to see what we made for them then. We had a great time baking Snickerdoodles and Chocolate Snaps. The chocolate snaps are a favorite childhood recipe that Sean's mom (Whitney & Gianna's Grandma Jill) used to make a lot. They are Sean & Kyle's favorite cookie (and maybe Audrey's too?). I know our's didn't quite measure up to Jill's delicious dessert, but they were made with love and remembrance, and hopefully that counted for a lot. ;)
Here are a few pictures from when we were making the cookies. Today, we are celebrating and loving the aunts and unlces in our girls' lives who love them so much! We love you all, Megan, Eric, David, Audrey, Kyle, Anne, Dave, Amy, and Emily. :)
ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS.
