Patterson Christmas

January 9, 2019

We celebrated with my side of the family the weekend before Christmas. My brother and his crew made the trip up from Florida so we could all celebrate together in Birmingham in GJ and Daddo’s new house! Have I mentioned my parents bought the house next door to us? I don’t think I have but they did and it’s AWESOME! They won’t be here all the time but we sure do love it when they are! They may not have much furniture in the house yet but they had Christmas decorations!!

Of course the cousins all had fun playing together – and “helping” GJ make cookies!

We thankfully had decent weather so they were all able to run out some energy outside…

We also had Susu here which was extra special to get to see her with all of her great grandkids!

Birthday!

September 18, 2018

Wishing the happiest of happy birthdays to the best around today. She’s the one that always figures out how to get things done, she’s always there for the important – and not so important – events, and she puts up with a LOT from all of us but still loves us no matter what. We are the luckiest to have her…especially these 3…

the big 5-0

July 27, 2018

Last weekend we went down to Montgomery to celebrate a wonderful occasion – Granddaddy and Lou Lou’s 50th wedding anniversary! Robert, Ronnie, and Mary Beth planned a lovely party for them and we all had fun getting together, looking at old photos and videos, and celebrating the milestone.

Of course the cousins all loved getting to hang and help set things up beforehand…

That evening, the kids didn’t even miss us when we left – they were having too much fun at the awesome country club pool!

The party was wonderful. So many friends came to say “cheers” to the couple!

Pretty remarkable that all of our parents have lasting marriages!

I’m so happy and honored to be a part of this family and proud to say I’ve been a part of at least some of those 50 years!

Cheers to 50!!

Yes, more naples

July 16, 2018

Happy Monday! You didn’t think the Naples posts were done, did you?! Nope, there’s more! Some other fun things we did…

Trips to the beach club…

We got lots of good rest (swimming wears you out)…

Mostly, we hung out with our favorites, GJ and Daddo, who were so nice to put up with us!

We had lots and lots of good fun, that’s for sure.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. On July 4th, we put on our red, white, and blue and made our way home with no problems.
