Weekend of Celebrations

What a crazy-busy-fun weekend! Get ready for picture overload!

Friday and Saturday we had a huge yard sale at my sister's. Several families from church brought their stuff too. 

We had people pay at each table instead of paying once and us trying to divide up everyone's money. It worked out so well!

A policeman actually stopped and I couldn't resist sneaking a picture! Ha! He stayed forever just talking to everyone and looking at stuff. He bought a couple cookbooks from me. 

Sunday was my birthday - I'm now the ripe old age of 26! Ha. It was a good day! After church all my family went to Jacob's family's house for a bbq dinner. It was so special that my nearly 96 year old Memaw got to come!

Sunday night we headed to my parent's for supper. Ridley and Lily had fun playing with Yaya.

On Monday, Myra and I went shopping (so I could use my birthday gift cards and money!). It was so fun to go out for a couple hours together! I made this sugar cookie tartlet dessert for our church picnic. Forgive the not-so-great picture, it's from Jacob's phone. I completely forgot to get one on the camera!

We headed out to my parent's in the afternoon to get ready for the picnic. Of course we had a huge downpour about 30 minutes before everyone arrived. Lily loves to watch the rain! I was so busy taking pictures of her, I didn't think about her shoes being on my mom's brand new upholstered sofa. Oops!!

You see Levi's grumpy face? That's pretty much what he looked like the entire evening! Poor baby is teething. My mom was so sweet to put up with his fussing while I tended to Lily.

Tug of War!

After the games we had dessert, homemade ice cream, and watermelon. It was the first time Lily got to hold the watermelon herself. She obviously loved it!

We ended the evening with a huge fireworks show! I can't take credit for this picture - I stole it from my sister's facebook! Ha. I thought Lily might be scared of the noise this year, but she wasn't. She just sat in Papaw's lap and tried not to fall asleep. Levi was taking his bottle and everytime there was a loud noise he would turn and look around. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend celebrating our country's freedom!
