Nashville/Caleb's Birthday


We traveled to Nashville last Friday for Cousin Caleb's 3rd birthday party and also to visit with Jay's relatives who haven't seen Annalee yet. Friday night we went to his aunt and uncle's house (Gerald and Genette) and had a wonderful dinner of salmon with tomato relish, roasted potatoes, tomato and buffalo mozzerella, fresh spinach, bread, shrimp and a delicious pie with fresh berries! We took both girls and they had a blast running around and playing with their cousin Hill, who is now walking, It was great to also visit with Katherine, Travis and Jay's Nannie. Thanks to Genette for the amazing dinner and for the great hospitality. On Saturday Jay went golfing with Travis while I watched the kids and helped Jay's mom clean and get ready for Caleb's party, which was at Mimi and Pop's house in the late afternoon. Caleb loves "spideyman" so that was the theme of his party-from the cake to the masks for everyone! I had made all the little girls in the family matching pink and green polka dot dresses back in March-Mary Katherine, Annalee, Madison and Abby. They wore them at the party but we failed to get a group picture due to all the chaos. I have one of Abby and Madison, but MK is already in her nightgown! The older kids had a great time with water guns and soaking Pop and even Nannie (who is 84 years old!). Sunday morning MK and Caleb played in the kiddie pool and on the slide while we packed and loaded the car, which took forever! Everyone knows how there is so much stuff these days with kids! Thank you to Mimi for having us and for having everything perfect for the girls to stay comfortably.
