It was cozy (and a pretty tight) in our little ranch, but well worth it. Everyone showed up on Emily's birthday, Thursday, and we headed to Sharkey's for wings. Loooove wings. #6 is perfect. After, we celebrated with strawberry cake sent from West Virginia (thanks, Connie!) and gifts.
On Friday, we woke up and opened gifts around 8am when we were all up with our coffee. Abby was so excited that Papa got her a bike!
Dad got us girls a really special gift: Pandora bracelets with Mom's birthstone on a charm. We loved them!
That afternoon, we went on campus and walked around. Kim had never seen the VT campus. Plus, we couldn't stay inside with it being sunny and 60 degrees out! It felt like September!
Abby got to try out her new bike around campus.
Also, I realized that I hardly ever have photos of my sweet baby brother on the blog...maybe because he needs to visit us more?? This one is for you, baby brother.
We also stopped by Bryce's lab because he was stuck there doing work almost all day. My smart scientist.
On Friday night, Dad treated us to a gourmet dinner including appetizers and wine. Stuffed mushrooms, hummus, BLT dip with endive, pomegranate and persimmon salad with hazelnuts, sauteed garlic green beans, and beef wellington.
After, we played Things and laughed a lot. Then stuffed our stomachs more with pie (Connie's a doll...didn't want me to have to make all those sweet by myself so she sent tons home with me! Blessed with a great mother-in-law).
We all headed our separate ways on Saturday, us included. We headed to Kami and Matt's wedding in Charlottesville for a New Year celebration. The holiday fun didn't stop yet :-)
