A Family Get Together

This past week, Brad's grandmother, Earlie, and his Uncle Danny came into town.  Last Saturday we had dinner with the entire family at his parents' house.  We had such a yummy meal, but even better than that was the company.  At first, our little man was a tad bit shy with our family members he hasn't seen in a year, but it didn't take him long to warm up.  Here are some of our photos from that evening:

Jack loves this huge, stuffed lion that Grandma and Grandpa got for him.  He's had it for awhile, but it never seems to get old.

Jack and Uncle Danny had a lot of fun playing together.  Jack kept launching himself off of Uncle Danny, and then he'd freeze his legs and clench his little toes like you see in the pictures above.  That happened at least 30 times:)

Can you tell how much Jack adores his Grandma?  He was very lucky because he got to spend two days with Grandma, Grandpa, Great-Grandma Earlie, and Uncle Danny this week.  Spoiled, I tell you!

I heart this picture.  Absolutely everything about it.

The best part of the dinner was the champagne toast at the end.  Grandma and Grandpa had a special announcement to make: Grandpa will be retiring at the end of this year, and we are so happy for him.  It's quite an amazing thing to have worked for NASA for 41 years...congratulations!  Let the party-planning ensue:)
