TWENTY-NINE

Our Cheeseball

Happy Tuesday everyone!  If you were lucky enough to get an extra day to your weekend I hope that your work week has started out well.  Mine certainly did.  I got an early start to my day today so Addie and I had time to just chill and have some girl time before I headed off to work for the day.  All and all a wonderful way to start the work week.  In honor of the wonderful, albeit cold Memorial Day Weekend I am thankful for time with Family and Friends.  Saturday Matt, Addie and I spent the day together, running errands and shopping.  Addie was particularly excited about the shopping as we were doing so for her.  She's only 15 months and she absolutely loves shopping for clothes.  She excitedly runs form clothes rack to clothes rack, oooohhhinnng and ahhhhing.  We're definitely in trouble. lol  That evening we invited Matt's parents over for dinner and had a delicious meal that Matt prepared.

Sunday was hectic but so much fun.  We had a later start to our day so we were able to ease into it but once it got started it was go, go, go.  We started out at our friend, Chelsea's birthday party.  Addie quickly attached herself to Chelsea and her friend Jess and made sure that everyone was paying attention to her.  Addie was really excited about our friend Joe's pet squirrels.  She was very gentle when petting them but just could not stay away from their enclosure as she was just amazed by these little creatures.

Addie wanted to make sure everyone saw how cool the squirrels were.

After we left Chelsea's party we began the journey to Matt's cousin Rick's for their annual Memorial Day Party.  On the way there I received an excited text from Aly saying that we needed to call her.  Much to our joy she informed us that she is engaged!  We could not be happier for Aly and Paul and can't wait to help them celebrate their special day. :-)  We love you Aunt Alice!

Once at Rick and Lee's we enjoyed the afternoon catching up with family and Addie was very excited that there were other kids there because they had cool toys! lol

Look at this block I found laying around daddy!

And a truck too!

We had a wonderful afternoon catching up, enjoying good food and laughing a lot.  Unfortunately we had to call it an early day so that our Bug could get to bed but we had a wonderful day.

On Monday we were blissfully free from plans and it wound up being the nicest day of the whole weekend.  Matt let me sleep in a bit and then graciously took Addie with him on his errands so that I could make the meals for the week and clean.  That evening we had dinner with Matt's parents and his Aunt Jeannie.  Addie is quite in love with Aunt Jeannie and was very eager to show her around the yard and show off her toys and books.  We finished the weekend by relaxing a bit before crashing after a hectic but enjoyable weekend with family and friends.  I couldn't have thought of a better way to spend the weekend.
