With Grant's birthday on May 8 falling just a couple of days before Mother's Day, we headed to Grammy and Grandpa's house in Visalia to celebrate both occasions. We were so glad to make it a big family weekend, with Megan and Danny and Katherine and Jay coming to visit too.
On Saturday morning, Ellie enjoyed time playing with Grammy and Tia Megan, while Grant and I went to play golf with Grandpa and Danny. Being out on the course again was a blast (I hadn't played in almost 2 years). We came back to a tired little girl, and some adorable photos of Ellie showing off her "tricks" to Grammy and Tia Megan.
In their typical fashion, the boys came back from playing golf just to sit in front of the television to watch more golf! This time, they recruited a little upcoming golf talent to join them. As you can see, Ellie is perfectly content sitting on Grandpa's lap enjoying the action.
We had a nice, relaxing Saturday afternoon lounging by the pool, and then enjoyed a delicious family barbecue. Thank you to Betsy for planning our yummy feast!
On Sunday morning, Grant and I took a short run around the neighborhood. Boy are we out of shape! Thankfully, we came back to a yummy breakfast prepared by Mike, followed by some fun Mother's Day gifts, and more relaxing family time. Katherine and Jay showed off pictures of their little bean -- Baby Keaton due October 6, 2012! It's hard to believe that by next Christmas, Ellie will have another little cousin to play with. Here he/she is:
All in all, it was a fun and family-filled weekend -- a perfect way to spend Mother's Day!
Thanks for coming to Visalia. I had a blast having everyone home.
