Saturday morning was full of running around. Martin drove an hour and a half to pick up my Mamaw for Alli Claire's party. She broke her hip back in April and still isn't driving long distances. While he was gone, I finished up cleaning, bathing Alli Claire and just getting everything ready for our guests. I do this every year - you know running around like a chicken? I don't know why I can't get it done before the last minute but I can't. We had a really good time visiting with everybody, eating and opening gifts. Actually, Caroline (our niece) opened most of the gifts :o) Alli Claire didn't know what was going on and at the ripe ol' age of two, Caroline was a pro!! And she had a good time showing AC the way things should be done. I love me some Caroline!
Caroline also gave us a good laugh when she kept chasing the lion around the living room. That's right.... a lion. AKA: Lucy Jane, the Peruvian Spotted Mountain Cat. AKA: grey tabby :o) It was rather amusing to say the least.
I'm glad everyone was able to stay a while after the party was over. I do love me a good sittin' around talkin' session. I just wish our family didn't live so far way and could do that more often. Maybe next year, I'll start the party at 10am instead. Just kidding Martin :o)
We had all intents and purposes to get up and go to church yesterday morning, but that didn't happen when I woke up and it was already 8:15am.... Martin said he nudged me and told me to get up but I never felt nor heard any of the sort. When Graisi got up she said, "So I guess we're not going to church today, huh??" I hate missing, but we so needed to sleep in. Alli Claire slept in too. She was a tired little camper from the previous days activities.
Graisi, Michaela, Shelby, Kathryn and Tori are spending the week with Mamaw Nancy and Papaw Harold. M, S & K rode back home with them after the party, but when I dropped Graisi off yesterday afternoon, Daddy had already left and went to the house boat. I think it was a little more estrogen than he could handle, LOL!! They should have a really good time.
