Birthdays

We had a fun and busy weekend in Ennis.  Friday, Evie and I drove there to meet up with Matthew and Mason.  That night we went to PF Changs to celebrate Matthew's birthday early since he will be helping Donna move on the actual day.  We had a nice dinner and enjoyed some family time.

We make some beautiful babies  :)

Crazy to think we are both 30 this year and when we started dating we were only 20!  It's been a great decade! :)

Funny story:  Right after Mason helped Matthew blow out the candle he just started crying saying "orange cake!  where is my orange cake?!"  We have been talking to Mason about his bday next month and he has been saying he wants an orange party, orange cake, and orange candles.  It's like it just hit him that he blew out a candle for a birthday, but it wasn't orange.  He was so upset with me thinking I hadn't given him what he asked for!  He just didn't understand that his birthday is still a month away.  He finally calmed down and ate the cake though!  I guess I better make sure he has an orange cake at his party!

Happy 30th birthday, Matthew!

Saturday afternoon was Evie's Sip and See, but that is going to be a whole other post!


After the shower we went home to get ready for GG's (John's great-grandmother) 100th birthday party.  GG loves to dance, so she had a  true Czech polka party.  I don't know of any other 100 year old woman that would not only have a party, but also DANCE at her party.  GG was on the dance floor several times polka dancing.
Of course our little dance machine loved every minute of it!  He was a little hesitant at first, but once we got him on the dance floor we could not get him off.  He seriously danced from 7-11:00 non stop!  We kept saying if he could dance to polka music, what in the world would he do at a wedding with a DJ?!

she slept the whole time through the music and all!

Another funny story:  We told Mason that we were going to a party where he could dance to music. Anyone that knows him knows that he loves Top 40 music and can hear the first beat to a song and tell you who sings it.  So he woke up from nap and asked if he would be able to dance to Britney (Britney Spears) at the party.  We told him no it wasn't that kind of music.  Well I have NO idea why, but he saw Lauren and immediately yelled "BRITNEY!"  Now, he has never seen any picture or video of Britney Spears, the only image he has seen of her would be her album covers on Pandora or Itunes.  So maybe it was just the long blonde hair, but he was STAR STRUCK!  He seriously thought she was Britney and wanted nothing to do with Granna, Aunt CC or me, and only wanted to be with her.  What's even funnier is that Lauren is a huge fan of Britney Spears and always has been, so she really took it as a compliment!  Mason was so shy around her at first and would just follow her around and then she danced with him most of the night.  At one point she told him she needed to take a break and went and dance with someone else, and you could just see the disappointment all over his face.  He was heartbroken!  When we finally left and were in the car, he looked at me and said "I danced with Britney, mommy!"  and was so excited.  He even woke up talking about how he met Britney!

All the ladies loved watching him dance!

Wish I would have had this one on video!  He can shake his hiney to any kind of music! :)
