A Weekend of Favorite Things

When I turned the big 3-0 a couple of years ago, B arranged for the Coopers & Dormans to meet us at my fave restaurant in Atlanta to celebrate. We had such a great time, we decided we'd try to make it an annual event to meet up for one night without kids...for old-times sake. Like we used to do all the time before they moved. Have I ever mentioned that I miss them?

The good part about meeting there is that we also get to see Bebe, Slade & Jessica! We went up a day early to spend some time with them and talk lots of football since the SEC Championship was Saturday. We left around lunch on Saturday to meet up with the Coopers...and could hardly get a hug from the Gs. "Bye! See ya later!" as we walked out. They love being at Bebe's house. :)

We decided to stay in the Vinings area this time and really enjoyed it. Our hotel was nice and reasonably priced and my friend, Jacy, recommended great restaurants for us. Lunch at Muss & Turner's was great...a perfect mix of good food and a nice, but not too fancy atmosphere.

We did a little shopping and then met up with the Dormans at the hotel so that we could be ready to watch the game at 4. And what a game it was!


Ah, yes. RTR.

Catching up...not often that we can talk without being interrupted by a couple, or seven, small children! :)

After the game, we left for dinner. So nice that the restaurant was within walking distance! (Even if the boys were cold.) They love when I take pictures like this.

Our eskimo. :)

Another homerun...thanks again, Jacy! Soho was delish.

. We went for coffee (milkshake for me), Mad-Gabbed and visited. It was lovely. So thankful for grandparents who love being with the kids to give us a day to refuel. :) We met back up with Bebe, Slade & Jess at Buckhead Church Sunday. Their Christmas opener was like nothing I have ever seen or heard...a great way to kick off the season!

After church, we hit our normal Tin Lizzys. Yummmm.

Cute Jess & Slade...can't believe we didn't get a pic of Bebe from the weekend! Sad.

Emily, Gehrig & Heather.

The girls and the Gs.

Saying goodbye...can't wait until next year!
