Friday was the official kick off to this football season and we.... lost. :( It turned out to be a comedy of errors but the highpoint was I got to meet up with Matt, Olivia and their boys as they live close to the team we played.
In birthday news, little Ms Esme' turned 1 on Friday! I can not even believe she is already 1! She had her party on Saturday and I am so glad the boys and I were able to make the trip to A-ville. Unfortunately, it meant abandoning Chad on his birthday but after the loss on Friday, I think he was kind of glad to be on his own.
Esme's Birthday
First.... the birthday girl.

The decorations
I was so proud of my sis in law as she used pinterest to decorate. Look what she did. Too cute, right?
 |
| so much pink :) |
 |
| This is not decoration but could be... GrandmaDean makes a baby quilt for each great grandchild. Normally, the baby receives the quilt in their first couple months of life but with GrandmaDean having 3 great grandbaby's born last year and Es being the last, hers was a first birthday gift. I love this quilt so many personal little touches. For example, the little girl is holding a book about Clemson (where her parents met). The father/ daughter in the top square.... good job GrandmaDean. |
The guests

| Uncle Nolan trying out the zipline. |

| Love this pic! :) |
And what I am going to start calling my "proof picture." In other words, the one picture that I have of myself proving that I was indeed at the event.
Chad's Birthday
Thanks to Chad's parents- actually his mom who let the cat out of the bag about his big bday gift- we did his birthday last Saturday. Just teasing Patsy (though she really did let it slip about his gift).
 |
| His new cell phone... since we moved here (over a year ago), Chad's phone has not worked in our house. DRIVES ME CRAZY! So, a new phone was long overdue. |
A busy weekend but so nice to see friends and family. Happy Birthday Chad! We love you and are so proud of you (even when you lose) ;) haha.
Love love love the picture of Esme and me - think I'll frame this one - would you make me a ocpy?
ReplyDeleteAs always thanks so much for recording the events in pictures and words....the best gift of all!
