It's Sunday night and we are winding down and just chillin' after the big weekend of heavy eating and enjoying all our family + Brooke's parents, brother and family, Annette's parents. and Ryan's girl friend, Brooke.
Thanksgiving and Friday were just perfect weather wise with sunshine, no wind and 70ish! We had family pictures taken, the kids played outdoors, we all stuffed ourselves silly, went on boat rides, and played lots of card games (euchre and poker)....along with football!
What a joy to cook in Brooke's big kitchen!
Friday we celebrated Maeve's baptism at St. Charles Borromeo in Morganton.
Sweet Maeve and Luke
Maeve and her Godparents (Anne and Ryan), Mommy, Daddy and Luke
The grandparents with our new little Catholic baby and family
Annette, Pat,, Mark, Philip, Maeve, Dave, Judy and Luke
Our kids....
Michael, Anne, Philip and Ryan
Unfortunately, Michael was in bed all day Saturday with some bug or food poisoning (not sure as no one else got sick)?
More memories
Miss Blair wearing her new reindeer dress
Brady wrapping rubber bands around watermelon and then watching it explode
Fun activity with Grandpa and the boys
The boys took turns putting 10 bands on at a time (700 total) as some of us watched from the beach (normally under water - lake is low)
Connor loves babies and Maeve got a lot of his attention
Patrick and the boys playing football
The cousins and their electronics...Connor, Brady, Liam
Brooke on the pontoon - it was fun having her with us!
BIG thanks to Michael and Brooke for hosting our big clan....
Very thankful that those traveling yesterday and today have arrived safely home (Ryan and Brooke back to FL, Anne and family to IL). Ryan is on his boat in Fort Myers and will be taking off in a few days continuing the long journey to DC.
Mark is putting Daisy in storage tomorrow for almost 4 months and will then drive Toad back to Bloomington. Philip and family are at Lake James till Tuesday and then will head back to FL and Dave and Judy will drive to IL.
I'm with Michael, Brooke and kids now in Newton. Tuesday, I fly from Charlotte to Fort Myers. I'm staying with friends, John and Beth for 2 days and then the Monday Night Friends (7) are coming to town for 4 days of girl fun!!!
Crazy girl
