Labor Day Weekend

We're down in St Pete this weekend, and boy has it been busy! We got here around 10 Friday night. Kayleigh had fallen asleep in the car around 8, but then woke up when we got here. Valerie and Matt got here not long after us, and Kayleigh was still up to greet them. She ended up sleeping with us because she would NOT go to sleep in her crib.
On Saturday we had all of the Woodsons and Grandma over for lunch. Erik and I made homemade onion rings, Dad grilled hamburgers, Mom made potato salad and deviled eggs, and Barbara and Jack brought over some baked beans. Saturday night we went to the Thai place that Mom and Dad love. Valerie and Matthew had never been, and almost didn't get to go on Saturday because Mom and Dad had gone earlier in the week. They were nice enough to eat there twice in a week so that Valerie and Matthew could try it. Kayleigh ended up in bed with us AGAIN that night. She had fallen asleep with Erik, but as soon as she touched the mattress of her crib, she woke up. Sometimes it's just easier for us to let her sleep with us so that we can also get some sleep.
On Sunday, we visited Granny, Aunt Ola and Charlie. Kayleigh liked showing off her walking skills and found some fun stuff to get into at Aunt Ola's place. Sorry about the ceramic piece, though! Hopefully Charlie can fix it for you again! Of course we had a delicious lunch with them. This time it was bbq pork sandwiches, cole slaw, mac & cheese and more deviled eggs--yum! We love them! We had banana pudding for dessert, which I think was Kayleigh's favorite part of the meal. After we got back to my parents' house, Kayleigh and I took a 3 hour nap! We woke up just in time to rush to get ready to go to BERN'S tonight! The food was wonderful, but we did miss the company of Nick, Robyn and Taylor. They were supposed to come this weekend, but were unable to. I think it was probably a good thing because they are now preparing for the hurricane.
The dress Kayleigh is wearing tonight is from uncle John and aunt Chaille. Isn't it so pretty?? She has her initials monogrammed on the front as well. We thought Bern's was the perfect place to show it off!



P.S. NCSer's--We'll see you all when we come down next month! Yahoo for reunions!

I love the dress Kayleigh is wearing- could I get one with my intials on it? It is so cute-on her anyway.
That is the cleanest bathtub I have ever seen! I need advice.
