A Weekend of Celebrating

This weekend was wild. We had so many things to celebrate! First, it was my Mom's 51st birthday. We spent the day together rescuing a new kitchen from a local animal shelter, hitting a few estate sales, and having margaritas in the afternoon. Mom hates when I try to take her picture. She kept running (or rather waddling quickly, her legs aren't what they used to be) and hiding behind things. She got so playful that she started laughing so hard she nearly peed her pants (see last photo). LOL!! I would say that is some good birthday fun, wouldn't you?



For Saturday we had a wedding to celebrate. My cousin Greta married her boyfriend of several years, Michael, in a lovely patio ceremony at a place called The Rabbit Room in The Lower Mill in Honeyeo Falls, NY. This reception hall was awesome. The place is a converted flour mill with three floors to explore. The main level was where the party was at with Rock Band set up for the kids to play and "grazing stations" for dinner. Then, upstairs, there was an art gallery and a museum. Very cool!! It was an unconventional reception to say the least. No formal sit down, no bridal dance, and no garter throwing, but rather there was specialty micro brew beers, and M&Ms with the bride and grooms photos on them, and carrot cake! This was the first ever wedding my kids have gotten to attend and they had a blast. Best of all, we were all home and in bed by 10pm. It made for a very happy Sunday morning.

I wish I could have had a higher note to celebrating the ending of the weekend. I wish I could tell you Jacob's football team won their first game... alas, they lost. Again. This time, it was 44-0. He still isn't able to play. The doctors are now saying it is tendinitis in his neck and he can't return until Sept 30th. He is bumming hard! But we won't let him play unless he is 110%. He just needs to rest and let his body heal.



So... did you do any celebrating this weekend?
