Boy, did our family have a party weekend!! We have so many things to celebrate in September and Dawn and Sean were able to get to Augusta this weekend so we just celebrated all of them at one time. We missed David, who was in Boston at a Georgia Tech football game
First we celebrated Dawn's birthday (13 Sep) on Thursday night. I cooked some Lasagna and a Dump Cake and Kim, Donald, and Caleb came over. Crystal and Chris came over after Crystal got out of class at Augusta State. We had a great time.

On Friday morning Jimmy and I, along with Dawn and Sean went to Caleb's school for "Grandparents Day". It was so nice. The school had donuts set up out front of the school for the visiting grandparents. Caleb was sure to tell us, "Grandparents are not suppose to stay for lunch" so I guess the donuts were to lure us out the front door before lunch. It must have worked because there was a line at the donut table when we left.

Friday night the girls took Jimmy and I out to eat at The Chop House for our 40th Anniversary Dinner. The food was great but the company was even better. We had a big table with Dawn, Sean, Kim, Donald, Caleb, Crystal and Chris. We even had Turtle Cheese Cake for dessert!!

Then Saturday we had Caleb's 6th Birthday Party at The Wetzone on Wrightsboro Road. Boy, did those kids have a great time. You will see in the pictures that all the kids had big smiles and they all went down the big slide called "The Hippo".....and I mean big!! It is three stories tall and 170 feet long. Even little Sean went down the big slide about four times all by himself. The first time they go down it takes your breath away, even the adults, but they all go back for more. Please notice that Kim had the picture of Caleb's first Bass on the cake. He was so proud.

After the birthday party we took Sean home for a nap before returning to Kim's house that evening for hamburgers and more birthday cake. We all played "Wii" which Caleb got for his birthday. He is really good at the games and very good at sharing his toys with the adults and little Sean.We all had a great time this weekend and I am sure we all need a rest.
