On Saturday March 30, the kids and I got up, got ready, and headed North to the suburbs of Chicago. One of my best friends from Chicago was having a first birthday party for her little man, Matthew. So, the kids and I headed up early (mainly so we could drive during Sawyer's morning nap) and went to visit with the Workmans. Charlotte and Addelyn are only 2 months apart in age so I love watching them actually get to play together. Grayden is four and such a great big brother...even to my kids.
Charlotte LOVED playing with the kids.
Her and Addelyn played very well together. And, as always, Charlotte made herself right at home.
Pretty Addelyn Francis.
Friends... cute friends at that.
Grayden was so sweet. He played with both kids. He kept an eye on Charlotte so that she didn't get hurt. He played with and held Sawyer. He is just so sweet.
We headed over to the birthday party to see celebrate Mr. Matthew.
Amy and Brad just moved into their new home the same weekend we moved our stuff from Georgia. They moved to a house that is over double the size of the house they lived in prior to it. They bought a BEAUTIFUL home with tons of space to grow and in a great area for Matthew to grow up.
They have a play room off of the kitchen. It was perfect for the birthday party!!
It was a Mickey Mouse themed party and Amy had ears for all of the kids.
We had a picnic style lunch in playroom. This way we could keep everyone all rounded up together... although Charlotte, Grayden, and Addelyn kept slipping out of the playroom to steal food off of the food tables. Charlotte loved having food at a level that she could reach.
Tammy and Nick showed up before we left. He is so funny!!! This kid cracks me up :)
Love him so much!
Sweet Addelyn and Sweet Molly Sue.
Two little beauties.
Second Generation GDI's
This is the first time that we had all of the kids together.
Eight kids for 5 friends.... 5 boys, and 3 girls.
Can you tell my kids are relate din this picture?????
We loved loved our time with our friends. I miss them so very much. The food was DELICIOUS. The kids had a great time playing together. Like I said earlier, Amy's house was amazing. We loved our visit with the Workmans and playing with/destroying their play room. Ash and Eric were such great help with my two kids at Matthew's party. In fact, one of the relatives of Amy thought Eric was my husband bc he was helping me so much :) We left once Sawyer got too fussy to handle. I fed him a bottle and we headed back to Metamora. Both kids slept almost the entire 2 hour drive. We got home around 5. We had dinner, baths, and got ready to load back up for the drive to Grandma Ann's.
Alex got home around 7:30 and we headed out around 8 pm. We had a great drive. Charlotte finally fell asleep with about an hour left. We got to Grandma's house before 11. Grandma, Melissa, and her friend, Erika were hanging out so we got to sit and chat with them while we prepared for the Easter Bunny.
Our Saturday was SO FULL but such a great day... and we got to see so many people that we loved.
