Our weekend started off by celebrating this guy's 32nd birthday. And by celebrate, I mean he and his daddy worked in the yard for 2 days....in the freezing temperatures! We so enjoyed having the Nelsons here for a couple of days and so appreciate all of their help around the house. Everyone had a blast.
Speaking of blast...later that evening, J and I braved the artic blast that has taken over Mississippi to catch the first round of the football playoffs. It was COLD!
Saturday morning, we met up with my mom's side of the family for breakfast at Primo's. My granddaddy has been in the hospital for the last week, so my aunts, uncles and cousin have been in town. Although the circumstances of the visit are not at all what we would like, it has been awesome to get to spend time together since we don't see each other as often as we would like.
EK wanted her picture by this tree. Why not?
Walker is a mess. He and Aunt Ellen spent a good 15 minutes discussing the things in the parking lot outside this window.
My aunt and uncle have a precious dog named Bo and he made the trip down from Virginia as well. My kids love the idea of dogs but have always been rather scared of them up close. Not Bo. They adored him....bless his sweet heart!
You know it is true love when Walker is willing to share his beloved blanket!
We had the best time getting to see Katie. EK was her flower girl a couple of years ago and the Katherine in her name comes from cousin Katie. EK had the wonderful time coloring pictures with her and I loved getting to visit.
Katie and I are just 6 months apart and we have always been super close even though we live far
away from each other. It is always special to spend time with this precious girl! Love you Katie!
Back to Bo...again...bless him.
We tried our hardest to help our Dawgs out but it didn't end the way we would have liked. Oh well, better luck next week!
I snapped this picture before church this morning. I have a feeling there will be a few more like this in the next month. We love pictures by the Christmas tree....yes we already decorated. I seem to always do it during J's birthday week. I have a problem.
Church was so good today. Frank spoke truth this morning that was so solid and the music was awesome. We had a special music presentation and several ballerinas from Ballet Magnificat danced along with the choir, orchestra and Vibe band. Ella Kate said it was the best day ever because Bethany (Uncle Frank's fiancé) was dancing.
This weekend has been a good (and busy) one. We are thankful for all the family and friends that we have been able to be around over the last few days.
