Big Weekend!

Last weekend was a big weekend!  Our friend Brent Allen came into town with his girlfriend, Caroline.  We had never met her before, but we liked her a lot and hopefully they enjoyed their visit.  We went out to some good dinners and walked around downtown, which we hadn't done in a while so it was a lot of fun.  Here is a picture of Brent, I meant to get a picture of Brent and Caroline (sorry Caroline) while they were down, but I have been a little slack about pictures lately.

Brent, Puppy, and his beloved BMW.  

 Also, this past weekend Gracie was in the Nutcracker!  She was a party girl of course!  She has been practicing every weekend with the company Mt. Pleasant Performing Arts that is out of the studio she takes ballet lessons at.  Friday night was a dress rehearsal and Saturday and Sunday they had performances.  All the dancers did a great job, and it was impressive.  Gracie and her little buddies did a really good job dancing (they had two little dances) during the party scene and were all very cute.

Party girl Gracie!

Also, Anna turned 7 this past Monday!  I can't believe it.  Pictures on Joe's phone, will upload later.  She is funny, her dinner of choice was hot dogs, popcorn, and Joe's brussel sprouts.
