Happy Wedding Shower, Tare!

On Saturday, we were invited to Taryn's wedding shower!  We were so glad to celebrate with her and Greyson was happy to attend his first and probably his last wedding shower (until he brings flowers to his own bride-to-be, ahh!).

The restaurant was set up so beautifully and Tare had the most adorable centerpieces (and yummy cupcakes!)

There were even hibiscus flowers in the champagne glasses and Kayla  was the only one brave enough at our table to eat it.  She said it tasted like fruit roll-ups though! yum!

 Greyson got to meet some of his Daddy's college friends while we were at the shower!  Brandon has great friends from college and we miss them all the time.  Since Taryn&Dobber live in Chicago we hardly get to see them and this was Grey's first time to meet them.  He loves them already, hehh!

Our week in Johnstown: Fall 2010

Between Fall Festivus and Taryn's bridal shower, we had a full week and the prospect of driving to Johnstown from ERie two weekends in a row was exhausting....so Grey and I decided to shack up with our families in Jtown for the whole week.  Boy, were the families happy about it!  We stayed for half a week with Abba, Poppa, & Aunt Kitty.

And even got to visit with Greyson's great grandpap Mesaros & great uncles.

Then we spent the other half of the week with Gma, Pappy Butch, Sydney, and Rosie.

Aunt Pam, Morgan, and Meemee even stopped down for a visit with Grey!

Greyson even got to visit his grandmas at work so that they could show him off all their co-workers could meet him. 

Two days in a row Grey got to go to lunch downtown and was "naughty" both time.  He spilled an entire glass of water onto himself and Abba's lap! 

And then got so messy eating with Gma that we had to strip him down to his white onesie while still at the restaurant.

Of course, neither Grandma was embarassed or upset.  Rewind 25 years and that was me/brandon and it would've been a different story...but their grandson- no problems!

We missed Daddy and Bullet though.  So by Saturday evening, we were happy to be back in ERie.  Thank you for letting us stay and making us feel so at home for the week.  We'll have to make it a seasonal tradition to spend a week in Johnstown.  Greyson really loved spending so much time with his grandparents.  And mummie really loved having so many extra pair of hands:)

Fall Festivus

We celebrated the first annual Fall Festivus at my parents' house the second weekend in September.  The idea behind the celebration is that friends and family would come together to prepare the harvested foods and goods from the year and share among each other.  We made frogmore stew and it was delicious.  However, I was very self-conscious of the fact that we hadn't harvested anything over the course of the year- thus cementing my sentiments to garden next year.  My family was coordinated, appropriate for the season, in plaid.

Also there were games...(did you expect anything less at an Adams function?)

Boo boo helped Daddy referee!

And of course, like every function we have there was merriment.  At dusk, we had a fire that also consisted of cool jams on the guitar from Justin and Alex.

And then after it started raining and we had to bring the fun back under the pavilion...things started getting a little strange.... 

Happy Fall Festivus!  Can't wait until next year!
