Birthdays and Family

Today, we all went to my sister's house in Conway to celebrate her birthday a little early. Her birthday is not until Thursday but with all the kids in school and all the grown ups working, we wanted to get to spend some time with her and not be rushed so this was the day. We had a lot of fun with gag presents from each decade. It was just fun. The kids enjoyed hanging out together. There was a lot of laughter. Mom and Dad were there and that is always a treat to get to see Mommaw and Poppaw! (It about makes Hayden's head explode to have his two favorite people in one place though....Poppaw and Mattison together for so many hours....oh my)

This photo just says it all


It was nice to have lunch, enjoy watching Sis open presents and then have birthday cupcake. Then we listened to Mom talk about the night Sis was born. The one thing I remember (I think because everyone has told me) is that all night when Mom was at the hospital, I told Ms. Bea I was going to have a baby sister. Well you know they did not know and Ms. Bea would say but it might be a brother. Oh no, she is a sister and I knew it!!! How blessed I am that the Lord gave her to us! I love you Sister!
Poppaw, Sis and the doggie! (Mommaw, there is not a photo of you on here until you tell me it is okay!)
