Ashley's birthday was the 28th. Steph had a volleyball game so she and I couldn't help celebrate, and Doug was out of town working. So her sister and some friend and her all went out to eat on that night. Friday we headed to Huntville. We stayed free (thanks to Doug's points) at a hotel only 3 weeks old. Saturday morning we drove to Scotsboro to the unclaimed baggage store. It was less than we had expected. It's a place you have to "luck" into finding the good stuff. ON the way home we stopped at old time pottery and shopped some. We went to the local mall there but didn't buy anything. It was fun just getting out of town.
Today we had a party for her after church. Pretty much the whole family was here except for Rachel. (we miss you! ;( by the way). Her car is getting detailed on Tuesday for her main present. More shopping tomorrow for the rest.
Large family parties are fun, but never perfect.
Babies cry, adults squabble, kids run in the house, make to much noise, and students don't always pick up after themselves not matter what age. But hey, that's why families are fun.
