A Par-tay!

We spent the weekend in Tampa to celebrate birthdays (me, Ashley & Braden) and Greer's last official weekend at home before she heads off to college. The sister's spent a good part of Saturday on a shopping spree--we had to outfit G with the proper "going out" attire. This is something Ashley and I were clueless about when we arrived in G-ville (14 years ago for me, yikes!). Ashley showed up to her first frat party in a khaki cargo skirt and "mandals" and while I did a little bit better, my wardrobe was definitely not much to brag about (even for the late '90's)! After a few hours in the mall, G is sure not to have the same problem! Thank goodness I packed the sour patch kids and we had Taylor Swift's new song to jam too! We all want to not like her music but, it's just so darn catchy (We-eee, are never, ever, ever...getting back together...Like EVER)!

P enjoyed the abundance of fun and attention (the mohawk made an appearance again).

 

And we had a little going away party that evening to celebrate G's new phase in life. Of course, she spent a bit of time talking with her BF, Patrick, who is at the Coast Guard Academy.

And we all took care of the dip while she was away. Boy, cream cheese sure is versatile and delicious.

My Mom has finally caught on to our plans to never leave our 20's...

Braden enjoyed my creative packaging of his birthday gift ($)...

And we were able to get a picture with the three of us together!

Oh yes, and Harley finally made friends with P.

Thanks for a fun weekend, Grammy and Grandfather!
