Elizabeth is FOUR!

Elizabeth turned four on March 26! We had a fun day at MOPS, followed by lunch at Freddy's - birthday girl's choice! The owner of Freddy's treated her like a queen once she told him it was her birthday - bringing her special straws, telling all his employees that it was her birthday. He wouldn't even let me pay for the custard I was going to get the kids as a special treat! What a gentleman - and it definitely made me like Freddy's that much more!!

Once Daddy got off work, Elizabeth chose Olive Garden for dinner! Yummy! We came home and had birthday cupcakes and then opened presents before taking a bath and heading to bed.

A fun day was had by all! Happy 4th Birthday Sweet Elizabeth! Daddy, David, and I love you lots!

Elizabeth's 4th Birthday Party

We had Elizabeth's birthday party on Saturday. I thought we were picking a good weekend (the weekend before was the end of spring break, and next weekend is Easter weekend, so it was kind of limited...), but apparently not. My parents and MeMaw were the only ones that could come, so since Elizabeth LOVES going to the movies, we took everyone to see Home. Now, the kids shared a room since we needed two beds for company, so they stayed up super late talking and goofing off Friday evening - like they didn't go to bed until close to 10-10:30. And because they knew Gammie was going to be there when the woke up, they were up before the rooster crowed... Five o'clock sure came early, and boy am I glad Gammie had the monitor!!!

We went to the matinee showing of Home and were finished just in time for lunch. The birthday girl chose Johnny Carino's. It was yummy! We came back stuffed full of popcorn and Italian food, so instead of eating cake right away, we decided to open presents first. After presents, we took a walk to the park to let the kids burn some energy off. Once we got home, we headed to DoubleDave's for dinner then back home for her Frozen cake and ice cream.

We had such a fun time celebrating sweet Elizabeth's 4th Birthday!

My Granddaddy

About a month ago, we lost a wonderful man in our family - my Granddaddy. He was someone I always looked up to and someone I loved with all my heart. And our kids felt the same! They love their Granddaddy-Great! He is greatly missed, but I know he is in heaven shining down on us!

Christmas 2012

I honestly have done a horrible job of taking pictures since we have moved, and I know just how precious they are, so my goal is to get a lot better at taking them! I know my Dad has some from Christmas 2013 and 2014, but I just didn't take any with my camera...

Granddaddy,

We all love and miss you so much! The kids still talk about and pray for you each and every night. I am so looking forward to the day we are all reunited again! Love you!
