Josh and Laura arrived to our side of the mountains on Friday afternoon and we enjoyed a belated birthday dinner for Josh in candlelight. After we lit the candles JJ and Addy asked if we could turn off the other lights and just have the candles giving us light. It was a special dinner and weekend together. Friday night after dinner and cake, checkers and Legos and ‘Don’t Break the Ice’ were the entertainment.
On Saturday we gathered on the ‘Mountain’ and had a delicious lunch of Beef Stew with Jamie’s amazing sour dough bread creations. This time she baked regular and one with siracha.
After lunch Addy had her nails done and then wanted to polish our nails, too. She did a fine job.
Saturday late afternoon and early evening it was time for the Awana Grand Prix. Addy was pleased with her car the Silver Star.
We were all there to cheer everyone on. We weren’t winners this year.
On Sunday we filled a row at church. It was good to worship together. We had lunch out and too soon it was time for Josh and Laura to travel back over the mountains home. We love you, We love you, We love you. Thanks for making the trek and spending good times with us!
Thank you, too, for sharing your photos!
Tomorrow I’ll post photos of the Birthday Candlelight Tablescape.
Our weekend was full and I did not spend time on the computer or make any blog visits. I’ll get caught up soon.
Hello Ellen,
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend with your family.
Take care, have a great day and happy new week!
…you packed your weekend full of fun!
I love that frame around the “I Love You” sign. Where did you find that. And I am also going to put mom and pop’s picture by my sign. That’s a great idea. Love you all and so thankful you were able to be together.
Hi Vera, that is not a frame but it is a book holder or book rest or a cook book stand or rest. I probably found it at a thrift store. Love you!
There is indeed something so special when you get to fill up a row/pew with family for worship! It looks like y’all had a great weekend together.
What a wonderful weekend you had! Happy Birthday to Josh!
Looks like one beautiful family and a weekend full of special memories!
Another wonderful family weekend. 🙂
Best family times! I agree that filling a whole row at church is something wonderful.
