Lots to celebrate and be thankful for!

I am so behind on posting, but before I even get to Christmas, there were some fun and exciting things to report! First off, we had our FIRST-EVER adults only Patterson family dinner and it was AWESOME! We had a nice, long, leisurely dinner at Folk's Folly to celebrate two momentous occasions....Billy P turned 60 and Lauren turned 30!

Next, Lauren and I took the girls to Sweet & Sassy for a makeover that I had given to Greer for her 3rd birthday. While Greer was hesitant at first, she was all about it in the end, selecting the "Diva" hair-do and the blue eyeshadow. Hayes, of course, was in her element and was so tickled to get the full treatment. The girls had a blast waltzing up and down the runway and we treated them to lunch at the mall afterwards. What a fun girls outing!

Hayes liked the idea of getting make-up put on her and having her hair done so much that she started asking for the treatment daily. So, we found the perfect excuse to indulge her diva demands....her first dance recital!

In other news, we were so excited to attend Lauren and Andrew's big gender reveal party for the baby they are expecting this April. While most of the room was sure it was another girl, my gut told me it was time for another Patterson boy and I was right! As soon as she cut the cake, bright blue was all we could see through the happy tears! How priceless is Lauren's reaction? I just love the way Lovie, Andrew and Greer are all looking at her to see her face. So stinkin' sweet! Can't wait to meet baby boy Patterson in just a few months and our kids are so excited about their new cousin!

Till next time, The Pattersons
