Monday night Cake & Ice Cream, 11.10.09

A goodbye celebration for Ali & Avery.

Our time together with our kids was way too short. We really only had 4 days with Ali, and 6 days with Avery & Jada. Ali & her boyfriend, Steven, had to return to SC Tuesday, so Lovey & I decided to have family come over Monday night for cake & ice cream. This gave everyone a chance to talk, catch-up on the goings-on, and to take pictures. Ali & Avery were really great - and I was very appreciative of my Mom, Grandma Gourley, and sister JoJo + her family to come over. Family is such a blessing, and having family close - like Jack & Carol (4 houses away) is fabulous!

Jada had an immediate love for everyone,
and was not stingy with her hugs & kisses


Bath Time Fun times 4! No wait...times 3
After eating all that chocolate cake, icing, and ice cream, everyone (including some of the adults) needed a bath! Taylor Bug joined Rebecca & Mary-Gail in their mini-pool, and so did Jada. But, bath time was not fun for Jada. My girls kept 'terrorizing' her (pouring water on her back & splashing). Needless to say, Jada did not bathe with the girls again. However, we were happy to have Taylor Bug with us. She splashed right along!
