For Spencer’s baptism on Sunday, we had all sorts of family trickle in all weekend long! It was SO fun to get everyone together and let all the cousins play, play, play! First in was GJ and Daddo. They got here on Wednesday and Maxwell could not have been more excited to see them! My mom went with me to pick him up from school and when he saw her he just said, “heeeeey GJ” and then ran up to give her a big hug. It was pretty much the cutest thing ever. Maxwell then couldn’t wait to get GJ home so he could “jump on her.” Yep, jump on her. I have no idea where he has gotten this but every time I talk about GJ, Maxwell talks about how he wants to jump on her. So, as soon as he got her to the house, he made her lay down on the couch and he jumped on her! Poor GJ! She’s a good sport!!
Daddo got some good time in loving on sweet Spencer that afternoon…
My mom played nanny for the boys on Thursday as Susan was out of town and I took a lunch break to go to Zoe’s with them. They were pretty good lunch dates…
GJ then drove to Arkansas to pick up Susu and bring her to Birmingham. We were all so happy she made the trip!
and here is Susu declaring that Spencer’s hair does indeed have a red tint to it. He seems pleased with that idea! We’ll see!
Keath, Jen, Delaney and Nate got into town on Friday night and we had a full day of fun on Saturday!
GJ and Keath took Maxwell, Delaney and Nate over to the tot lot and ran into this on the way…
Oh boy! I don’t think there could have been anything more perfect for this crew considering Maxwell’s love of firetrucks and Delaney’s love of all things pink!!
The three amigos then had lunch together…and all had to sit on the same side of the table, of course!
All that playing at the tot lot makes you thirsty!
Spencer was being well tended to by Keath!
After naps, everyone came back over to the house to celebrate a very special birthday!
Delaney turns 4 TODAY! Happy Birthday Delaney! We celebrated with a little fire truck riding…
and cake!
What comes after cake? Presents of course! Maxwell was a big (and largely unwanted) help to Delaney in opening her presents! This pictures makes me laugh…
Delaney had just put on the pink tiara that came with her new Ballerina Barbie and Maxwell snatched it off her head before she could even say “princess!” ha!
Maxwell then checked out her new Barbie dolls…
“Wait a minute, these aren’t trucks!”
But, he ultimately decided they might be fun to play with for a little bit…until Delaney rightfully took them back! 🙂
Maxwell wasn’t too upset though because he got a special present from Susu and GJ even though it wasn’t his birthday (GJ’s good like that!). He got a T-ball set and he, Nate and Delaney had the most fun playing with it after dinner. Batter up!
It was such a fun day! These cuties got lots of love from GJ…
and even gave each other a little love! “We like each other!”
Funny little kids.
A BIG thank you to Keath and Jen for making the long trip! We loved having you here and Maxwell hasn’t stopped talked about “NateNLaney!” 🙂
Precious pictures of seriously fun times! I can’t wait til Savannah gets the chance to join in on all that fun. They all look so happy!
What a very special week-end – love having all 4 grandbabies together! Thanks to Steph and Robert for hosting us! I’m ready to do it again! Can you just imagine when Spencer is crawling and better yet walking and can join into the fun!
Agree, big shout out to Keath and Jen for making the trip. Everyone in my family enjoyed getting to see you all again. Loved seeing all of the Pattersons. Until next time…
Glad we were able to come! Fun was had by all.
