Family Fun

We have had a fun-filled week.

Tuesday- Tom's cousin, Kathy and her kids, Darby and Daxton (from Charleston, SC), came to town to visit with GG (what the great-grandkids call Grandma) and the rest of the family. 22 of us invaded Parker's Barbecue for lunch. We were so rowdy that they put us in our own room. Just kidding! They were nice enough to put us in a private room so that we could all sit together and visit (we probably were a little rowdy or at least a little loud). The boys: Wooten, Josh, Jacob, Daxton, and Christian had their own table. Darby, Rebecca, Anna Gracen, and Madison had their own table. Which left Eli and his entourage at the big table.

After lunch we loaded up and headed over to MeMa & PaPa's house to continue our visit. My kids stayed and enjoyed supper at MeMa & PaPa's while I headed to a Ladies' Meeting at church. The kids had a blast!! It was really cool watching the cousins interact as if they see each other all the time. What great memories they made. We really enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to another visit this summer. A ladies' road trip to Charleston has been mentioned.

Wednesday afternoon - Christian had his second baseball (machine pitch/tee ball) practice. He did a great job! He hit 3 of the 6 machine pitched balls. One got some serious air. He did awesome hitting off the tee. Nana and Wooten said he also did a good job fielding. (Anna Gracen and I were off to dance practice.) The boys enjoyed dinner with Nana.

Anna Gracen and four other young ladies at church will be dancing Sunday morning to celebrate Resurrection Day. They will be dancing to the song playing "I am Your Beloved". They have had a wonderful time practicing and look beautiful in their dance outfits. They also have a part in the dance that we (the ladies' dance team) is doing to Paul Wilbur's "El Elyon". Hopefully I'll be able to post videos of each of the dances.

Today after dance practice we went to the annual Resurrection Egg Hunt at church. We had lots and lots of goodies to eat, a puppet show and lots and lots of eggs. Anna Gracen was off to see "The Hannah Montana Movie" with her friend, Lindsey. The boys and I came home and had a yummy lasagna for dinner.

Tomorrow we're off to celebrate cousin Madison's 9th birthday with an ice skating party. We'll be dying eggs and making our Resurrection cookies tomorrow evening.

Have a great weekend!!
