Nene and Papa Jones met Miss Preslie for the first time on our trip and boy, did she ever steal their hearts! She even had Papa dancing in the kitchen.
She loved the tupperware sippy cups that were used by her aunt and uncle and cousins 25 years ago. The drinks come out much faster in these puppies. She was feeling like a big girl.
She warmed right up to Nene and talked up a storm, never mind that no one could understand her. Great grandmas know how to speak babies' languages, I think.
Shelby was wearing the special outfit Nene bought her for her 8th birthday. Nene loves to see us in the outfits she buys for us. She gets such a kick out of picking out just the right thing.
Lucy is still in the "I am not gonna behave for a picture" phase, but at least she was happy to be with Nene. She had a ball and only made one major mess with perfume in the back bedroom.
We stayed with Jen and Emmy at the Points' abode. I can't believe I have no pictures with them! The kids so loved being spoiled by their aunt Jen and eating out of the special baseball cap cereal bowls while we were there.
On our way tot the Woodlees', we stopped by Tricia and Cody's house to get some hugs and say, "Hello!" It was their daughter Allyson's birthday and they were getting ready for a party. The kids wanted so much to stay, but we had to get movin'. Isn't Ally beautiful?!
Tricia is the best mom for a girly girl. She was sporting her very own tiara and made the most fabulous Mum cupcakes for her princess! T-Ta was my first friend at Union High School. I moves there in 9th grade. She was a cheerleader and I was a skater girl and she befriended me right away, before she even knew I had moved in right across the street from her. She saw me in the office with my straight black hair with short severe bangs, vintage outfit and patent leather shoes covered in buttons and immediately struck up a conversation. As different as we always were, we were such good friends. She is a precious girl with a huge heart. It was so great to get a hug from her and her sweet hubby.
James knew Cody in college before he even met Tricia. Cody was in the same fraternity as one of James' best friends so they partied it up quite a bit back in the day. He was all ready for the OSU homecoming game in his orange shirt! I wish we would have had more time with them...maybe soon.
