WOW, what a busy but awesome weekend! Grandma Shirley and Uncle Terry got to our house on Friday for a weekend visit and to enjoy all the festivities. Friday night I spent until 2AM working on getting things ready for our busy Saturday.
The day started with Annie’s soccer practice at 10:30 and then on to Kate’s game at noon. Once again the Pink Flamingos claimed a victory!
We quickly hurried home after the game to get to the girls’ friend’s birthday party. They had a fabulous time at the pirate party and were a little disappointed to have to leave it early to get to Annie’s dance recital. Here is a great pic though of Bri and Chris posing in their pirate gear!
Annie did a terrific job at her dance recital. It was the first one she did where Kate didn’t dance with her. We weren’t sure if she would be too shy to go on stage but she was awesome and one of the best little dancers in her group!
Right after the show we rushed home to host her family birthday party. We had a delicious BBQ, opened LOTS of presents, had Annie’s favorite DQ ice cream cake, and enjoyed spending time with our family. Here are some pics of Annie and her presents. You will see she got a lot of pink things (including a new pink Razor scooter! and LOTS of Hello Kitty themed clothes, accessories, etc.!)
Then today I spent the majority of the day up in my bedroom trying to organize and fold like 8 loads of laundry that were scattered all over our room for days (it looked like a college dorm!). Brian and Terry spent the day working on demolishing the girls’ bathroom. Unfortunately two hours into the project Brian had to make a little pit stop at Urgent Care for 10 stitches to his arm. We were joking that he needs to stop getting “tattoos” when he does house projects as he also needed stitches to his leg when he put in our hardwood floors. Good thing he can handle blood as I would have passed out if I would have had to look at it. I am really excited to see what the bathroom is going to look like when we (or rather Brian) finishes it!
So now I sit writing this blog (with my bedroom still in total disarray) but am so thankful for having had such a wonderful weekend with my family!
