Dinner and Wedding and Birthdays--oh my!

This past weekend wrapped up our super busy spring schedule.  In May alone, some or all of our family attended a college graduation, 2 graduation parties, a charity walk, a baby shower, 2 weddings, 2 BBQ's, and 2 birthday parties (one of which was Amelia's).  Whew!  Throw in GG's birthday and Mother's Day and its been pretty crazy around here.  But, despite a couple of upcoming trips, things will settle down nicely in June.

Our weekend started on Thursday when Laura, Eric, and Evan rolled into town.  We visited with them for a bit, grabbed some dinner and then 

Jason and I headed off to our double header softball game.  On Friday, Amelia, GG and I hung out with Laura and

 Evan before heading to a wedding rehearsal and dinner that evening. Jason was in the wedding and was completing his groomsmen duties from 10:30 until late into the night on Saturday. I attended the wedding and then had some down time (read: errand running) before the evening reception.  I met Jason

 

downtown at the Renaissance Grand where we celebrated all night until the bar closed down.  Grandma was nice enough to bring Amelia back to our house for bedtime so that she could wake up at her own house for her 2nd birthday!

Amelia decided to start her birthday off bright and early

 (5:30 AM) much to Jason and I's delight.  After some birthday pancakes and present opening, we were all back in bed by 9:00 AM. And boy was Amelia tired!

We had to wake Amelia around 2:00 to get ready for Jason's grandpa's 80th birthday party.  We headed over for dinner and more celebrating and  since it was Amelia's birthday too, she got free

 reign of the cake. She was encouraged (on many occasions) to stick her finger in the icing and lick it off.  She even gave great grandpa a turn!

Although it was an incredibly busy weekend, we feel so fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends, with such exciting events to celebrate! 

Happy 2nd Birthday little lady!
