Mom and I had been doing serious home-organization and decoration the week before her birthday. She came up to Sherman to help me get the new house settled and decorated. We had so much fun shopping in Dallas and around Sherman. I'm so lucky to have a talented mom who can help make a house feel like a warm and inviting home! So, when family came in Friday night to celebrate the birthday weekend, our house was much improved from the last time they saw it!
We had a fun weekend celebrating my mom's birthday. It was a "milestone" birthday for her...and we definitely had a weekend to remember welcoming her to her shiny new decade of life! Friday night taught us a valuable life lesson. NEVER attempt dinner at a restaurant with 6 adults and 3 children (all under the age of 2) after 6pm!! Dinner was a comedy of errors, starting with a crazy hostess who didn't 'get it'...at all! We sat for probably 20 minutes before our waiter was even aware he was supposed to be waiting on us. When we finally placed our order, about 15 minutes later the waiter returned to the table and said that somehow the order disappeared. We had to re-order. By this time, the babies were squirming, Drew had knocked an entire glass of ice water all down my leg, Avery was crying...and we were all wondering why we thought this was a good idea. We ended up getting our dinner boxed up and heading back to the house. Once the kids were fed and put down, we finally had a fun b-day celebration dinner for Mom.
Saturday turned out much better. The grandparents and girls & Drew hung out while Collin & Andrew played golf. Once they returned, we all headed out to our favorite summer spot in Sherman...the pool! Avery braved the kiddie slide and had fun. Drew seemed to like the water again too. The jury is still out on whether or not Julia is a fan of the pool.
Happy birthday Gram!!! We love you!
