Bustin' a Move

Last weekend we drove to Arizona for my cousin's wedding reception.  We arrived Friday evening, changed clothes and headed to a nice restaurant where our kids were on their best behavior.  Seriously I can't believe Connor was so good for so long.  We chatted with several people and met others.  It was a fun night.  After being good for probably an hour, Connor started to get antsy.  Then one of the servers brought out paper and a pencil.  Daddy drew all kinds of trucks as Connor requested them.  This kept Connor's interest through dinner.  Then he had a really good dinner, and while waiting for dessert he threaded his napkin through the holes in the chair.  He had a great time.  Great uncle George had a great time playing this game with him as well.  Several times throughout the night people came over and said what well behaved kids we had.  They did an amazing job!  Poor Chloe was exhausted, but kept a happy face and smiled at anyone and everyone walking by.  We left the party early-roughly 9:30/10 and went back to the house to put kids to bed.

The house we stayed at was huge and totally designed for children.  My aunt and uncle got the house and invited us to stay with them and my cousins.  There were 5 bedrooms and a kids play room that was decked out.  Connor spent his free time either in the play room or out in the backyard playing with dirt and diggers.

Saturday morning the bride and her mom came over to the house to get their hair and make up done.  My aunt, Hera was busy in the kitchen making spanakopita and tiropita.  Saturday afternoon we drove to the bride's parents' house for the party.  Connor had fun bustin' a move with his aunt Abbie and my cousins Tasha and Alison.

Sunday morning, we cleaned up and left for our long drive home.
