Celebrations

It was a weekend full of celebrations. 

Before we get to those...it was just me and this little guy Friday night. Daddy had a retreat to be at,

 so we were flying solo. 

Matt wasn't home until Saturday afternoon, so Fulton and I spent the morning with mom and dad. It was Uncle Pete's birthday weekend and they were out of town, so we broke in their house 

and did a little decorating. 

From there we ran around to a few places and did a quick stop by the library so Fulton could introduce KK and Pops to some of his animal friends. 

Daddy made it home early afternoon and we had this sweet family over for dinner to celebrate Claire's birthday. These two are a mess together. 

Sunday was a big day for Matt. He was ordained as a Deacon at our church. It is a huge honor and I am so proud of him and the spiritual leader he is for our family. It was really cool that he was ordained with one of his good friends, Drew. They are both officially the youngest Deacons in our church. 

Even better is that all ordained Deacons came on stage to lay hands on the new men and my dad got to come up and pray over Matt. It was such a special day. 

These two were twinkies for church Sunday. 

Fulton boycotted a nap (probably because he knew what an absolutely beautiful day in January it was), so we met up with friends to walk. We stopped at another friend's house and she let us all jump on the bounce house. The kids had a ball. 

But we had to wrap it up and head to mom and dad's for a birthday celebration for Pete. He turned 22. Such a young buck. 

Happy Birthday Uncle Pete! We loved celebrating with you and thanks for sharing your cake with us!!
