2 Birthdays in 1 Weekend!

This past weekend we went to Huntsville to celebrate Pawpaw and Oupa's birthdays. Pawpaw's birthday was last wednesday, November 4th and Oupa's birthday is this thursday, November 12th. So, we always like to celebrate over the weekend in the middle of both of them. We drove up saturday morning and stopped off to see Oma and enjoy some delicious food at the Taste of the Holidays at Brookshire Brothers. The food was great and we got to sample all kinds of food for free (turkey, ham, sausage, dressing, shrimp, pies, muffins, cheesecake, ice cream, cheeses etc, etc.) I would highly recommend this event to anyone that's never been. It sounds like they have it every year on the 1st weekend of November. Oma, Jacob, Jayda and I had lots of fun sampling everything in the store! We headed over to Nanna and Pawpaw's house that afternoon and all of Jacob's brothers and their families came over for Pawpaw's birthday party. We again had lots of delicious food, sang happy birthday and opened presents. Jayda had a ton of fun running around and playing with her cousins, and handing out tootsie roll pops to anyone that would take one!

On sunday morning we got up and played outside at Nanna and Pawpaws house for a little while before heading over to Oma and Oupa's house. Once we got over to Oma and Oupa's house Jadya decided that she just had to help Oupa plant some new plants in flower pots. So, she got her gloves on and went to town. After they planted the plants Jayda helped Oupa water all the plants in the front yard. She even got her own bucket and would have Oupa fill it up for her so that she could water them on her own. She loves to help do things and she loves to be outside, so she had a great time! After working hard out in the yard Oma, Jacob, Jayda and myself went to the lovely Wal-Mart to get Oupa a birthday present that he was wanting. Well of course we had to look around at all of the adorable Tinkerbell stuff there, plus the huge toy section that they have. Jayda found LOTS of things she would like to have for Christmas at Wal-Mart. She and daddy were riding bikes around the store and she was pointing to all of the cool things. The funniest thing is later on that night when I was giving her a bath out of nowhere she says "Mama, I want to go to Wal-Mart!" I was laughing so hard and called my mom in to tell her. Since Oma loves Wal-Mart she thought that was hilarious. I don't usually shop at Wal-Mart back home, so she discovered that was a pretty cool place. Anyways, after our exciting trip to Wally World, Jayda went down for a nap we all enjoyed a nice homemade meal by Oma. Everything was really yummy and later that evening before heading back home we sang happy birthday to Oupa and celebrated with angel food cake!
