This weekend was jam-packed with events. I was lucky to have the holiday off ...woo-hoo! 3-day weekend! Our weekend started by inviting our friends Heather and David over for dinner and fireworks. She brought a deeeeee-licious cake! Carlos liked it so much he wouldn't let her take it home. No lie!
After a wonderful dinner, we loaded up and drove to the parking lot of a church . We watched the fireworks that were being launched at a park about a mile away. They started about a 1/2 hour late...which put us around 10pm, so Landon got a little loopy. But we still got our annual ooo-ing and ahhh-ing in!
Saturday, Uncle Stephen called to say he had found a figurine from McDonald's that Landon was begging for and I could not find. After I told Landon his Uncle found it for him, he asked to go outside. Then, he plucked a flag out of the ground and I was able to snap these few photos. When I asked him what he was doing he said he was waiting for 'Uncle Steve' to bring his toy. We waited for a while, while I tried to explain. But, eventually the heat got the best of both of us and we went back inside.
Saturday night, Aunt Adriana (mom's youngest sibling) dropped by the house for dinner and dessert, I had not seen her or her husband in 10 years or more! And I had never met her 10 year old son. He and Landon one of 22 great-grandchildren on the Sandoval side and I'm one of something like 33 grand-children!! I love that! My camera was "broken" (actually it was switched to manual focus and I didn't know)...but today (after after a trip to the camera store to have the people flip the switch FOR ME!) I was able to snap a shot of this:
This was an early birthday gift from Adriana. It was a wedding gift given to her, years ago, by my grandma on my dad's side, Grandma Applewhite. She said she has always believed it should be in my family, so she was waiting for the perfect opportunity to give it to me. I was just in awe of how precious this gift was! It's the ONLY belonging from my Grandmother that I own. I don't even know where to put it, because I want to keep looking at it. It's a gift I'll treasure forever!I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
