bennett's baptism weekend

Today we went to my parent's house to meet up with the Seymours and get ready for Bennett's baptism.  We were excited to see everyone and spend the day catching up before the big day tomorrow.  Everyone arrived in the early afternoon.  The kids spent much of the time playing.

James loved posing for the camera.

I think this one is "Disco Ninja" pose.

The kids did spent sometime helping my dad get some firewood for the wood stove.  The boys loved going outside and riding on the tractor.  But, I think that my dad may have loved it more.  He was eager to take them out and in fact that was the first thing he mentioned when we walked in through the door.  I know he cannot wait to get Bennett on that tractor.  They bonded and Ryan called him "The Lawnmower Man" for the rest of the weekend. 

Ryan even spent some of the afternoon snuggling with my dad.

The adults were busy cooking, enjoying adult beverages and adult conversation.  

We made pigs in the blanket, roasted veggies and salad for dinner.  And, for dessert we had cupcakes and four different types of cakes, courtesy of my mom.  

The Seymours were not able to make it to Bennett's birthday party so we decided to celebrate tonight. He wasn't in the mood though and had a break down right in the middle of us singing.

I think the little guy was just tired.  He didn't nap.  He had a busy day.  We were all tired and didn't last long after dinner.  We drove the Seymours to their lake house and went off to bed.  We all need a good night sleep.  We have another big and busy day tomorrow.
