Family, Food and Fun!!

We had a great weekend of family, food and fun. Our Georgia family came to stay with us this weekend and boy did we have fun. They came to help us celebrate Claire's first birthday in the Un*ted St*tes! We spent a lot of time eating, talking and playing games! We stayed up until 1AM last night playing cards and laughing together. We can't wait until we see them again later this month. To see each other 2 times in one month is a luxury for us. We usually live so far away we are lucky if we see each other once a year. We are going to take advantage of being so close and get together as much as possible!
