Weekend happenings - part 1

We've had another busy weekend but so full of fun! And we needed it...I got laid-off last Thursday and while that's all going to be ok, it sure made for a lousy week! But the weekend made everything feel SO much better. Nothing like a big dose of family and friends to put everything back in perspective. I'm so thankful for all of the love and support and blessings in my life. So thankful!!

Friday night Dillyn came to play! YAH! It was the first time the cousins have gotten to spend the night together, so it was really special and I just loved having both of them! I remember so well when Dillyn was a baby and I can hardly believe she's 11. It just reminded me how fast this all really goes and how I need to be sure to soak it all up. She'll be off to college (Virginia Tech of course!) before I know it!



Dillyn brought Jack his very first Christmas present and as you might have guessed, the paper was the real hit!



We spent the evening with Grams and Gramps (aka Dixie and Merlin) and had a great time! Grams bought Jack a Santa hat made for babies and it doesn't come close to fitting over his big head!



So we tried to get a picture using an adult Santa hat, and it was a bit too big...but still very cute!



Dillyn played us a tune on the piano and Jack tried to help...



Saturday we spent some time with Grandma celebrating her birthday! She brought out lots of fun toys for Jack and he said thanks by helping her open her presents!



Then Grandma and her boys looked at old pictures of Richmond and learned all about how things used to be!



Grandma also took Jack for a wagon ride, which he really enjoyed! It was such a nice relaxing day.



When we got home, Jack had a present from Mandi and Grace! The CUTEST lion mittens ever!!



He wasn't so sure what to think about them though...



And it's only Sunday morning - we still have a whole day of fun ahead. Stay tuned...
