Birmingham Visit With Brent's Family

The day after Savannah's birthday, we jumped on another plane and headed to Birmingham to visit with Brent's side of the family.  The trip over was easy and uneventful, and Savannah and I discovered some interesting items in the Delta Sky Mall Magazine.  Just what we've always wanted, our very own squirrel home decor.  LOL!

  

We got into Birmingham late that night, and were pooped!  The next day, Brent's mom and sister made it into town and we had the finally had the whole family together!  Brent's mom brought up our favorite cake from a bakery in Baton Rouge for a birthday celebration for Savannah.  At dinner we enjoyed the delicious treat and she opened her presents.  :)

YUMMY!

Over the next couple of days we had a fantastic time spending time with our family and getting the opportunity to play and visit.  Savannah and Uncle Russ had a fantastic time goofing around with the LSU snuggie blanket!

Uncle Edwin kept Savannah entertained with the "spider on a string."

Aunt Jessica and her friend John Carl kept Savannah busy with all of her birthday toys that she was showered with!  LOL!

Each night Memaw (Tilou) gave Savannah a bath, and Savy would entertain us with a concert of all of her songs while her hair was being dried.  LOL!

Did I mention that they totally spoiled Savannah rotten with birthday presents???  Here's what we looked like going through Wal-Mart.  LOL!

We were lucky to celebrate the Fourth of July while we were there!  Aunt Jessica got some fireworks and Savannah had a great time watching them go off.  She and Memaw even did some special sparklers together too!

Waiting for the "Direworks" (as Savannah calls them) to start!

Sparklers with Memaw!

On our last night in town my brother Austen and his wife Nicki came by for a visit as well!  Nicki and Austen are expecting their first child, a little girl, in October.  This was our first chance to see each other pregnant at the same time!

Pregnant together!

All too soon our visit came to a close and we had to say goodbye to our wonderful family, but it is so nice to know that we will see some of them again since we will be in the US for so long!  We had such a great visit and can't wait to see them soon.  Love you all!

I love my MeMaw!

On our way back to Shreveport, we experienced some delays caused by bad weather in Birmingham which caused us to miss our connection in Atlanta.  Savannah and I ended up spending the night in Atlanta and flying out the next morning, but after all the travel we have done it was no biggie at all!  Savannah has become a super-duper traveler and handles changes really well.  We would gladly go through it again to have a great visit with the family!

We love you guys and thank you so much for such a wonderful visit!
