There is nothing like Family!

   I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude! Last night, we had an impromptu cookout at our house and invited our family's!  It was just a fun time!  Everything was relaxed, everyone ate, talked, played, and laughed.  It's times like this that I am SO thankful for 2 AMAZING families! They do so much for us from watching CTB, providing a place for CTB and I to go when daddy is sleeping all day from working his butt off, impromptu donuts and treats, lunch/dinner dates, and good 'ole fashion playtime!  I watched last night, CTB just light up playing with everyone but especially RTB's brother.
Uncle Rusty would build a tower out of Legos and CTB would watch meticulously then wait for the all clear to bust through the tower, then he would just laugh and laugh before beginning to pick up the pieces and hand them to Rusty to "do it again"! We are so blessed!

CTB also got some special time with his cousin J.  J gave CTB a pop-up tent that he used when he was little and now everytime J comes over, CTB runs to the folded up tent and wants J to open it up and play! We are so blessed!
Auntie Tammy taught CTB a new special trick.  She was showing CTB how to say "come here" with the hand motion and CTB went right into the den and said "come here" to J so that they could play. We are so blessed!
Granny came over too and she got extra kisses, snuggles, and love from her two grandkids!  After CTB went to sleep and everyone was hanging out in the den, I watched her just smile as she watched her two sons and grandson (J) play some golf video game! I feel like that is going to be me....in the blink of an eye! We are so blessed!
CTB also enjoyed time with MiMi who got down in the floor and was building something of her own with Legos. CTB was mischievously tearing apart everything she made. MiMi had to leave a little early and CTB did NOT want her to go.  He ran over to the door, lifted his arms up, and whined "mimimimi". Of course this delayed MiMi's exit by a few seconds but she got some extra kisses before leaving! We are so blessed!

There is nothing like family and we are SO lucky to have so many wonderful people in both of our families to enjoy life with!!
