The party was just beginning after Casey opened all of his presents. We still had half of the day left!
After we laid Charlotte down for an afternoon nap, the boys went outside and spent the majority of their time hitting golf balls around the yard, while Perry and I drove around a little bit to check out some homes in the area.
When we got back, the tent was already set up for Hunter, JP, Aunt Bobby, and Aunt Kim to sleep in that night. As far as I know, everyone enjoyed themselves. They told a lot of the same jokes over and over. JP favorite joke is one he made up himself the other week. It goes like this: "Knock knock. Who's there? Glasses. Glasses who? Glasses hooked up to a mustache!" And then he busts out laughing. Every time.
They also set up the game Ladder Ball while Perry and I were gone. We played as soon as we got back. And lost. By a lot. Meanwhile, Chris filled up Casey's little pool for the boys to play in, but they decided against it when they realized how cold the water was. JP, however, told Aunt Kim that he would jump in as long as she had a towel ready for him. As she headed toward the house to get a towel, he stood on top of the slide attach to the little pool...and then slipped in. Everyone started cheering and he just got out and started wandering off in embarrassment. They thought he was brave to jump in! Meanwhile I'm shouting to Kim, who is among the cheer squad to GO GET THE TOWEL! It took him a while to snap out of his embarrassment, but Aunt Bobby was with him the whole time snuggling him to death.
After that little ordeal, a little competition was created to see who could chip the golf ball into the little pool. I was horrible. But I think there was a few that made it?
As the evening started to kick in, a campfire was started.
Never quite made it to marshmallow roasting, but Nanny and Papa sure enjoyed hanging out with the grandkids around the fire.
Charlotte and Casey entertained themselves with the balls from the ladder ball game.
They had to much fun with them!
Even though I'm sure she would have rather stayed home, Roxy probably loved to get outside and run around with another dog, when she wasn't afraid for her life!
The boys had a lot of fun in Casey's new car. They were pretty good about pushing each other around, but really enjoyed when the "big people" did it.
Before it was too dark out, Chris pulled out his beer pong table and a few games were played.
I think it's safe to say the Concienne brothers are undefeated. Perry on the other hand... He's lucky he has me to keep an eye on him! If it wasn't for me, he'd probably still be in the guest room rubbing the walls down in search of the door!
A year later we now have little big kids!!
Before everyone headed home, Nanny and Papa got a picture with all of their grandkids. It was kind of a struggle to get them all to look at me. And JP pouting the whole time didn't help. As the took photo after photo, Papa Craig's expression worsened as Hunter kept squeezing harder and harder around his neck...
Then we took family picture since it had been about 2 years since our last one. JP was the challenging one again....
