Reunion, Recital, and Fathers Day

This past weekend was extremely busy for us! It was our 10 year reunion from graduating high school. Nicki, Melody and myself have been working on planning it since September, so it was nice for it to finally be over! The festivities started Friday night with a cocktail hour at Porch Swing Pub in Houston. It was great to see everyone and get the memory juices flowing! Since Jason had been in Canada all week and flying back late that evening, I went solo, but it was a lot of fun!
After getting in late Friday night, we all woke up early Saturday morning. Jason went to play golf with high school buddies in town for the reunion, while Brinley and I headed off to Reese's dance recital. Brinley absolutely loved watching all the dancers. She sat in my lap for an hour without moving (which is rare for her!) After each dance finished, she would clap and say "more" very loudly. When it was Reese's turn she got so excited, waved and yelled "hi". The 2nd hour of the recital she got antsy, but since it was the tap portion she stood in the aisle next to my seat and imitated the girls tapping! I guess we will have to put this girl in dance when she is 3!
After leaving Brinley with my parents, I came home to get ready for the reunion. We had such a good time. It was almost like we graduated yesterday because everyone just started talking, laughing, and dancing like no time had gone by at all. The only difference was we could buy our own alcohol now instead of having someone buy it for you...LOL! It was really great seeing people I hadn't seen since we graduated. So the evening was full of picture taking, laughing uncontrollably, dancing, and walking down memory lane. It was a fun evening and I am glad everything worked out, but I will gladly hand the torch over to someone else to plan the 15 year reunion!

After another late night getting in, we woke up Sunday morning and headed over to my brothers house for fathers day and to pick up Brinley. We ate a yummy lunch, homemade ice cream and swam for the afternoon. We came home, took a nap and got take out for dinner! No pictures from yesterday due to sheer exhaustion!
