Family Gathering

Before I begin I want to give a little history... Levi and I moved into a home 2 days before Baby Brooklynn was born. So as you can imagine I am still "fixing up" the house... This summer Merrijo decided to bless us with home-made curtains and desk cover for our kitchen!!! In two days she came over measured, made and hung them!!! Absolutely amazing right?!?!? well not for her the next day she was over with absolutely PRECIOUS curtains for Brooklynn's room... SO I guess over the past couple of months Beau has heard his mama tell people "gran-dobie" made these curtains for Brooklynn etc......................
Well..............
Last night we had a wonderful time having Levi's side of the family over!!! It all started with me calling Lala (who had pike for the day/night) and wanting to set up a playdate for the "primos." Well that turned into a full blown out playdate with dinner!!! Lala cooked a delicious dinner and we had Gran, Nanny, Esther, Fausto, Grandobie, Kicky, Lala & Pikey over!!! Well of course the boys played in the dirt the entire time with their boy toys!!! After eating dinner we were all sitting underneath "the tree" watching the 3 precious kiddos when Lala began to ask Beau what everbody's "real" name was... In case you don't know the Burns family is notorious for nicknames... After he said someone's name he got a big applaud and he thought he was all that!!! Well time came around to Merrijo (Lolly's sister) who we call Gran-Dobie... and when asked who she was... Beau's reply was "Gran-Dobie Curtain." We all just about melted... it was sooo cute... so now Gran-Dobie Curtain is undoubtedly going to have to make Beau curtains as well... He has asked her to make purple and green...
So this all happened last night... and I got to hear about 4 or 5 different times today how gran-dobie curtain make me green and purple curtains mama....
Dobie you are the BEST!!!!
Unfortunately something is wrong with my computer right now and I am unable to post the pictures I took of the famous curtains so once I get my brainy friend over here to fix this I will post them!!!
