Birthday Weekend.

Our weekend was a wear-yourself-out blast! With a party on Saturday, and family funday Sunday-- last night, we all headed home to get ourselves packed and prepared to cruise next week. We're up to our ears in cruise preparation, so this is going to be short and sweet. It's the pictures you like to see anyway, right? Good--here we go!




























And while some of us took pictures, others of us did things like this...It was gameday, and nothing comes between this boy and gameday.

You'll always find these two talking about easier times, and old cars. I love when they do that.


And the SENIOR hung out with the monkey's in their den. Poor Senior, I'm glad she survived the monkey-den-explosion.

Speaking of monkey's....I think these two enjoyed themselves more than any of us.
Our ankles were just glad to have a break from Niller-Dog. Brown girl took a beating, but really enjoyed Canella's company.


We settled into bed on Saturday night and all slept like rocks. When we woke up on Sunday, Nonnie welcomed us with fresh coffee and a big breakfast! She needed a little help-- so the 4-year-old grabbed a stool and jumped right in.


We ended our weekend with a funday SUNDAE, and teaching the kids new skills...


...you learn something new everyday!


Thanks, so much, to everyone who made mom's birthday such a blast. Whether you were with us or sent sweet messages, we're so thankful for your friendship! Happy Birthday, mom...I hope it was the best day ever! We'll be back after the ship docks, to post cruise pictures. Will you pray for traveling mercies? We've got lots to remember, and precious cargo to keep safe!
