Mother's Day Weekend

In anticipation of Baby G's arrival, my mom was here for a few days. We had the best time playing, but the bambino is still a no show. Alas, she left yesterday afternoon so maybe he'll decide to make his appearance now - today is my due date, so we'll see! 

My parents and I met at the Atlanta Symphony Decorator's Showhouse last Thursday to see James speak and to tour the house - fun day! We got to see Jill and her mom Fran, and Hollie and Kaci too! 
On Friday, Mom and I spent the day in Athens, and on Saturday toured Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, Georgia. It was just gorgeous! But all that walking still didn't get Baby G up and moving!
Sunday was spent with family, and it was so nice! David and I were able to host everyone, and it was the loveliest day celebrating our mothers! 
I sure am blessed to have the one God gave me! 
And the mother in law I've been blessed with too!

Here's a little bit of our day at Gibbs Gardens:



We had so much to celebrate yesterday! Asa is graduating on Friday, but we won't be able to be there - so a chocolate Cecilia cake was just the ticket! We also had a strawberry cake to celebrate the Mothers! 





Abbye surprised me by coming in on Saturday night! I was so so so excited! We were in the movies watching The Great Gatsby (ah-mazing BTW) and she walked in! I was too pumped! 



So lucky to have everyone here yesterday!  




We had the nicest time hanging out - I was sad to see everyone go! 
Glad Gongaman could be here too!


Here we are - 40 weeks! Come on Baby G!

a few parties

Over the weekend, my sister Abbye graduated from Georgia Southern! We are all so proud of her! Her degree is in Hotel and Restaurant Management, and she'll begin her internship at Sea Pines on Hilton Head in March. We can't wait to go visit her! 

Before the graduation festivities, David and I traveled to Charlotte, NC for his work, and made the road trip to Statesboro on Thursday. A big family/friend dinner was had at Isabella's in the 'Boro before a night out at Dingus Magee's. 

Here's Abs' cute girlfriends before our night on the town!


And a few of us at dinner...



Her ceremony took place on Friday morning...here's Abs approaching the podium to have her name read before crossing the stage!


We were all so excited for this big moment!


After the ceremony, we had time for a few family pics before lunch! 


We are all so proud of our Abbye!



Later, on Friday night, we hit the Lamar's Christmas Party in Hawkinsville. It was so nice!


And on Saturday we were able to attend our friends Sydney and Gray's engagement party in Atlanta. It was so nice too!

Here I am with the bride (right) and her sisters Ansley and Colby! Love them all!


Me with my handsome date!


We'll be heading home this weekend to enjoy more family Christmas events! 
Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Merry merry!
