Weekend in Abilene

What a fun weekend we had!!! Saturday was Ryan's grandfather's 80th birthday so we made our first trip as a family of three to Abilene! This was also the first time since Addyson was born that she got to see all 3 set of grandparents in one weekend! That alone is a wonderful thing!

We started out by going to Weatherford Friday night for Addyson's first kangaroo football game. She must have been their good luck charm because they played awesome and won, 21-7! Before the game we ate in the press box where Debs and Grampa got to show off miss Addyson to their friends. Then we headed out into the cold to cheer on the Roos. The best part of the game was the mom sitting in front of us who kept Addy-girl entertained the whole night with her hootin' and hollerin'. Addyson told me last night she wants her own cowbell now! (She's in luck because I still have my HSU Sweethearts one!)

Go Roos!

We got up bright and early Saturday morning and took off for Abilene. Addyson was greeted with a tea party set up just for her from her aunt Kinsley!! Apparently, Kinsley started planning and preparing for her tea party 3 days before we even for there!! Too cute!

Tea Time!

Then we had lunch at Ryan's old stomping grounds, Olive Garden, where proud daddy got to do plenty of showing off to his old co-workers.

Then it was off to see the first set of great-grandparents, Mauzie and Pa. Addyson had a great time there getting loved on by her Mauzie! And then a miracle happened. My amazing father-in-law got Addyson to sleep!!! That's right, a nap! She put up quite the fight but eventually grandpa Keith won out. Of course she only stayed asleep for about 30 minutes, but hey I'll take it!

We Match!

Next it was over to see the other set of great-grandparents, Meemaw and Bubba, the birthday boy. Addyson also got to meet her great-uncle Bobby for the first time. Meemaw had made us all a wonderful dinner while Addy-girl enjoyed some sweet potatoes, yum!

Sunday morning we were up for the birthday celebration. We had a wonderful lunch and Addyson got to meet a few distant cousins!! She turned on the charm and stayed a happy baby through the whole luncheon, even though I know she was exhausted! It was a great time getting to see and catch up with everyone!

All said and done it was an absolutely wonderful weekend. God is so good for blessing us with such a big family who loves us!!!


PS-sorry for my poor photo quality! I guess I need to invest in a real camera, but my phone is always so handy!
