G's 60th Birthday Party Weekend

We had a surprise party for G's 60th birthday this weekend and it was a total success. My mom was 100% surprised and shocked. I could not believe we pulled it off - but am so happy we did! We had a lot of out of town guests (Dennings, McDaniels, Lawrences, Mike and Robin Ronayne, and Sally Booth). And also lots of friends from Indy - about 75 total at the party at La Margarita in Fountain Square.

We got to spend a lot of time with Lawrences who came in Friday afternoon. Pat, Mike, Elisabeth and baby Matilda came over for dinner on Friday and Avery fell in LOVE with Mike Lawrence. She put him down for a "nap" and covered him in "bittys". He was a great sport!! All night she said "Mike, Let's Go!" and led him around the house to whatever she wanted to do. Matilda is one lucky girl to have such a sweet grandpa (and mom and grandma, too!).

Avery and Matilda had a ton of fun together, too. The first night they played until almost 9:00 - they were having too much fun to go to bed. After the party the next day, we all met up at my mom's house for dinner and to have more cake (which Avery had no problem eating after deciding that would be her dinner). Again, the girls riled each other up and were so funny together. Matilda put on her jammies and Avery decided she needed to put on jammies, too. We didn't have any so she put on a t-shirt of my mom's and loved her "Jammie shirt". The girls played until almost 9:30 - so late for both of them but they were on a bit of a sugar high and we were all cracking up watching them squeal and run around.

We had brunch on Sunday and Avery and Matilda ran around outside after we ate. They were just too cute together and were so sweet to each other. I hope we get to play with the Lawrences again soon - we miss them already!

We had a friend take some pictures - sadly they did not come out that well but the few we got are below.
