Friends & Family

When the week started and I told Colin about our dinners for the week, and he declared it "friend week." Let's just say that Monday was our only night having dinner alone. Oh, how we love our friends. They keep us sane, happy and loved. Love you all!

After "Friend Week," we had Family Weekend. Off to Reagan & Brooke's 1st Communion. Admittedly, my first 1st Communion too. =) The girls' were beautiful and we had tons of family time.
The weather was near 70 and perfect. Party at the golf course...

 Outside time and cake time.

 Justin had the camera for 5 minutes and I had about 20 pictures of trees, dirt, C's butt, and golf carts. Here's one of me soaking up some sun...

 Then it was off to Grandma's for more cousin time.

 Baby Danny made it into town. Sleepy, precious baby.

 Birthday girl, Rylee.

 Justin & Ana

 Happy Birthday Mitch & Rylee!

 One of them found a toad.

 Who is enjoying their ice cream the most? I think the one with the red bowl. =)

 After the festivities, the boys had a sleepover with Nick & Tami. The boys loved every moment of it!! But let's just say Justin didn't sleep through the night and we owe them big time. Thank you! Jack & I had a fun date night with live music and a Homeland marathon. Oh, and sleeping in - something we have not done in a very long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sleepover party...

 They built a hut for Justin b/c he was hot/cold with Mario (the dog). He wasn't allergic to Mario; he just couldn't decide if he liked dogs or not.

 The girls had math lessons for Justin.

 Sunday included more Grandma and cousin time. We left Sunday afternoon and about 2.4 minutes later, J was out. Party hard, sleep hard. Grandma sent us home with food, too, so we didn't even have to make dinner tonight. Yes, we are spoiled.

And my favorite family pics of the weekend. The Elwell clan (most of us, anyway)...

 The Elwell brothers! So handsome!
