Celia turns 7!!

Becoming a 7 year old is a big deal, especially when you are Celia Pope.  She loves her birthday!!  Her wish for her birthday dinner was a meal out at Chili's, mac n' cheese and fried apples followed by a birthday song and ice cream sundae.

Her birthday party, the next day was at her gymnastics place with all of her friends, rainbow cake made by Elissa and lots of gifts.  She is one sweet girl and I am so glad that we were able to be there with her to celebrate!!

Time with the boys

I got an invitation to help out with Halloween this year.  Jack loved his dinosaur costume but was not in the mood to have his picture taken.

Sam was loving his pizza but his costume options didn't please him so he dressed all in black.  Jack and Jenna were on the fast track Trick or Treating around the neighborhood with Jack's friend Mason, while Sam and I strolled for house to house.  He consumed treat on the spot.

In November John and I were lucky enough to keep the boys for a whole weekend while Jonn and Jenna celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville. I found a local playground and the boys had a blast.  Time in the back yard playing chase and a little sandbox time are always a part of the visit.  Are we lucky grandparents or what??

I just love these boys!!!!!!!
