Nice Weekend!

We had a really nice weekend. I got to visit with good friends Kelly & Pamela on Saturday and Meredith got to play with Kelly's son, Jamie. They played really well and it was fun to watch them together.
Chris got new golf clubs while we were gone on Saturday. He swears that with gift cards and discounts, he didn't have to pay anything out of pocket for his new TaylorMade irons...he is such a shopper it isn't even funny! He is pretty excited because he is going down to Pinehurst with his best friend Randy next weekend and he gets to play Pinehurst #2 (for all non-golf enthusiasts, this is a big deal bc it was the site of the 2005 US Open). The other great part about it is that Randy won this package from work, so it will be minimal cost. He's like a little kid in a candy store :)
Sunday we went over to my mom and dad's for Meredith's birthday celebration with them since we were out of town last weekend for her real birthday. We had a yummy 2 year old friendly meal of homemade mac n cheese (YUM), cheese bread (YUM), cottage cheese (are you seeing the carb/cheese theme?). My ever health conscious sister Hillary made some good kale and a really intersting and tasty orange, red onion and green olive salad with a citrus vinaigrette (sounds crazy, but it was really good!). Cupcakes and ice cream topped it off. I've decided that Meredith must be really sensitive to lots of sugar because both last weekend and this weekend about 5 minutes after diving into the frosting on her cake, she got all dazed looking and started rubbing her eyes like crazy. I really don't give her much sugary stuff at all, so maybe it's just a sugar rush from not being used to it. It was a fun afternoon.
We're in for a busy week....off we go.
