WOW!! What an amazing weekend we had. First, Friday was Miker's birthday. The two of us went to a great little restaurant called Asian Mint and enjoyed a yummy feast including tons of sushi, awesome chicken spring rolls and a nice bottle of wine. My Aunt Tammy kept Chloe over night so we were able to relax and get a good night's sleep which was important because we were planning on heading to a family reunion in Blanco the next morning.
Saturday morning we picked up Chloe and came back home to finish packing. Well, this took a bit longer than expected. We finally got on the road around noon. Traffic ended up being pretty bad so we arrived much later than we had planned. When we got to Blanco we went over to Miker's Grandparents house. We visited with the family including Mimi (Miker's mom) who had flown in from Georgia.
After that we headed to the adorable little house that we had rented to stay in along with our cousins Eli and Emily and their daughter Elizabeth. Chloe and Elizabeth had so much fun together. They put on their matching monkey pjs and ran around laughing and playing until almost 10pm!! We finally got the girls to bed and shortly after we all hit the sack too.
Sunday was a great day. We went to church and afterwards we had a catered bbq at our rental house. We also had a photographer there snapping candid shots of everyone as well as a few posed family pics. I have to say a special thank you to Emily for organizing the whole thing. It was really great. That evening we actually got the girls to bed at a reasonable hour and so we were able to hang out with Eli, Emily and Mimi. It was so nice catching up with everyone. We only see Eli and Em about once a year so we have lots to talk about. They are both such awesome people and we always enjoy seeing them.
I have posted tons of pics of everyone. My favorites are the ones of Elizabeth and Chloe. Those two girls are going to be such great friends as they grow up. They are very lucky to have eachother.
