Three Celebrations

The first celebration was Anna's birthday. We surprised her at dinner and had a big loud table at a nice quiet place. Oh well they're used to it! Great Grandma drove in and we were one big happy family. 

Great pic...but umm yes, Kate is the same size as Anna. 

Second celebration was a wedding for one of the guys that works for BLS. The best part was....look who was there. Mrs. Tabby! The girls were surprised and didn't leave her side all night. I think I may have left my readers in the dark on this one, but Tab left us a couple months ago to stay at home, get back to good health and take care of her granddaughter Elle. We were caught a little off guard, but know everything happens for a reason and I guess she needed a break! We've had Mrs. Tabby since December 2008 after we moved into our new house and I went back to work. She was with us 4 years and a HUGE part of our family. They will still be part of the family because her husband has worked for my dad for over 20 years. So...after a few amazing temporary sitters towards the end of the summer, we hired Miss Lauren when school started. She is now part of our family and puts up with Lil Man every day and the girls here and there when out of school. We absolutely miss Mrs. Tabby, but love our new sitter! 

Look at this little stud! He's 15 months going on 5...and oh does he think he's something. He is into everything, he walks, he runs, he hits, he bangs, he beats, he blows kisses, he waves, he eats, he demands, he loves his milk and oh does he love his bankee! That will be a separate post. He isn't really saying any words that we can understand other than Cow. He talks non stop and is pretty good at repeating what you tell him, but doesn't usually say words on his own. He used to say Mama and Dada but now just demands things by looking at what he wants and grunting where his face gets beat red. Yes it's real pleasant in public...however he still loves to shop so he's pretty good most of the time. 

We had the dance floor to ourselves for most of the night so here is Bam Bam and Anna.

and one of the girls

Oh and then there was Elle! This is Mrs. Tabby's granddaughter. Remember a few posts ago, they were on the gator together? 

Not sure what's going down here, but looks like there are some negotiations??

Ya that's my drink!

Sucking on his candy cane!

Checking out the bride!

Oh and then headed over to Elle's table for a visit.

and then got her out on the dance floor.

Oh then Daddy couldn't stand it. Him and the girls doing what they do best!

Then these two decided to play kick the can...I mean sippy cup.

and I'll leave ya with the final celebration! Bennet cracks himself up at dinner. 

He. Is. Such. A. Ham!
