We did it! We entertained at our house!

-

For the first time since we had kids (I think), we hosted a party at our house! A baby shower for some friends of ours, Lindsey and Blake Roussel.

She’s due in about a month and after I offered as one of the hostesses, to host at our house, I thought I might be a little crazy!! It was a couples shower and in the evening time, so there weren’t any kids. Which means that I had to pick up the kids playroom and make it look like no kids lived here.

It was a lot of work, but I forgot how much I love having people over. I always wanted an “open door policy” at my house when I “grew up”. Since having kids, we have really only had family over and people with young kids so we haven’t needed to clean up too much. I can’t wait to do it again sometime!

Here are some shots from the party…

Louisiana "Snow" day and Fried Green Tomato BLT's

We were supposed to be on a plane to Copper Mountain today, but mother nature had other plans for the Gary's this Mardi Gras. We had our trip all ready, clothes borrowed and packed up, and the dog was taken care of. Then a blizzard started to make its way across the south. Our flights kept getting changed, then canceled. Instead of losing days of our vacation trying to make it there, we postponed the entire week to Easter week. So, we are now stuck at home on a very cold, snowy/rainy day. I felt a little nostalgic and got out my camera for some non-work photography! I hadn't used my camera just for fun in a while and need to get it and myself out of work-mode. Here is what it looks like outside today! Marielle and I went out there together so she could jump on the trampoline while it was full of ice!  I took some more a few hours later. Ice on the surfaces is getting thick! Aliza made a tiktok slicing all the icicles off all the surfaces.  Before the freeze, Jon brought in all...

Marielle and her Nanny Ally

-
A few weeks ago, Marielle spent the night at my sisters house (her Nanny Ally). This video is from breakfast the morning after the sleepover. I have watched it over and over and I cannot stop laughing. It is 1:18 long, but if you have the time, it’s hilarious!! We gotta say Father Son! from kasey gary on Vimeo . Can you tell we say grace before every meal? and after the prayer she hears Allison’s dog, Sammy, bark outside and she gets a little scared. Priceless!! Nanny Ally was recording her at the perfect time!! Enjoy!
