Garland Squared: Birthday Weekend!

We had a very busy weekend around our house. Especially by our standards since we usually don't have much on the agenda. It was Daddy's birthday weekend and we had lots of celebrating to do!
Friday night we went to Pepaw & Ann's house to celebrate John Clay and cousin Millie's birthday. Anna Kate and Drew had a really good time exploring every nook and cranny of Pepaw & Ann's house and also enjoyed being the center of all the attention.

Ann gave Anna Kate a boost so she could help Daddy & Millie blow out their candles.

Like I said, they were in every nook and cranny at Pepaw &Ann's. Drew somehow found the mops and decided he would do a little cleaning. His mama has taught him well!

On Saturday night, DotDot and Grandaddy let Drew & Anna spend the night with them so we could go out to celebrate Daddy's birthday with his friends. This was their second time spending the night there and the report was another good one! They slept all night and were good for DotDot & Grandaddy!

Today DotDot had a birthday lunch for Daddy and Mimi Jo. Cousin Price and Whitney came over too. Anna Kate and Drew really enjoyed getting to play with their big cousin and Price was such a good entertainer for them.

Drew got a lesson in power tools from Grandaddy.

Sweet cousins. Poor Hayes was a little under the weather and didn't get to come.

Even though it was very cold we did manage to get out for a quick wagon ride and to feed the goats & turkeys. All day AK & D watched everything that Price did very intently. I am sure they were taking notes on how the big kids do it.

And finally for one last birthday celebration, we went to Mamaw & Papaw's house this evening for dinner. Drew & Anna Kate were pretty worn out from their afternoon playing with Price but still managed to have plenty of energy to keep us all on our toes. Aunt Teresa and Uncle Eugene were there as well as Papaw Tim, Uncle Aaron, and Megan. Again, they were the center of every one's attention and loved every minute of it.
