A Memorial Weekend

What a fun weekend this has been! We decided to have both of our parents in for a big family weekend. We are so blessed to have parents that not only get along, but actually enjoy being together! We ate {a lot!}, talked {a lot!} and laughed {a lot!}, and poor little Emma didn't get one bit of attention with all four grandparents being here {joking, of course!!}! I think she's in a little bit of shock today with them all gone!!


One of the many things David & I enjoy doing together is cooking & entertaining. We love planning the meals, cooking, and I {of course} love decorating & making the table look festive. So we put out all of the stops this weekend & had lots of yummy meals planned. It was so nice to get to enjoy cooking knowing that I had four of the best babysitters in the other room taking care of Emma's every need! :)

Emma LOVES both of her granddads. It's so cute to see her reach out for them!
Emma loves watermelon & had the juice from her head to her toes!

Mom so cutely sipping some very yummy fresh-squeezed lemonade.

Dad happily eating some amazing Roasted Corn Bruschetta. {This is a pioneer woman recipe that is SO GOOD! It's in her cookbook & a must try! I can't wait to make it again!}
Emma loving all the attention from Happy & Grumps while mom & dad were busy cooking.

Thanks Bud, Honey, Happy & Grumps for coming this weekend! We had so much fun having you ALL in our home & loved every second! We love you!

Well, this year, I have totally dropped the ball on making a festive-looking, super decorated table, etc. etc. BUT, thanks to your blog, I am fixing to go dig out the little flags that I forgot I had and put them somewhere! Ha! Dinner is at 5pm tonight over here...nothing like runnin' behind! :) Looks like yall had a great time! And I will be getting my PWCookbook out soon to see about that roasted corn! Yummy!
