Trip to TN

This weekend, Nate and I took a special trip together, back to Murfreesboro for a day. We got to see some good friends, and attend a very special boy's 3 year old birthday party!!

We arrived at Hallie's house around 5 pm and the boys were oh.so.excited to see each other!! Grant didn't waste time opening his bday present from us...a Spiderman costume just like Nate's! They were too cute for words:

While the boys played, I caught up with Hallie & got to love on her little one, Cole, who has the cutest chubby cheeks I've ever seen!! We had a yummy dinner complete with ice cream oreo cake, and then it was time for a double bubble bath!

Then the boys got into their matching Spiderman pjs and attempted to settle down before bedtime. (Didn't happen!)

I tell ya, these boys missed each other something fierce!!

The boys got to sleep on an air mattress, complete with Toy Story sheets! I snuggled between them to read a few books (fittingly: "Franklin Has A Sleepover") but it was about another hour before they settled down and stopped talking/fighting/causing trouble! Hallie & I got a kick out of listening to them on the monitor. At one point, we heard Nate say "Grant, you're annoying me!!" (Nate was SUPER tired since he didn't nap during our drive there). Poor G, he was just so excited to see Nate and wanted to chat all night! :)

The boys woke up bright & early at 6 am, and said they were ready for G's party (um, just wait for 4 more hours please!) We had yummy homemade cinnamon rolls and played Spiderman/Peter Parker 100x before finally leaving for G's party. It was at Jumper's Playhouse (like N's was) and the boys were thrilled to see they had changed some of the bouncy castles and slides!!

Both me & Hallie had to show off our "good sides" :)

Love these boys

Time to grub!!

They had the yummiest cupcakes....banana, chocolate, and strawberry with white chocolate!

After the party, we said tearful goodbyes to lots of friends and headed to our old neighborhood for a quick visit with Miss Amy & Mal Mal. Mallory was THRILLED to see Nate and they got busy playing in her room, building forts, etc while I got to catch up with Amy.

We got back to Murfreesboro around 7 pm Saturday night after an AWFUL drive (again, Nate was way over-tired and just does not know how to nap in the car). Greg & Abby were happy to see us, and enjoyed their day bonding at multiple parks and playing outside! It was a great trip and we hope to do it again soon. Thanks H for having us!!
