A Bright Day

We had a Collier family birthday celebration for Mommy on Saturday at The Bright Star. Great Grandmama, Aunt Carmen, Uncle Jimmy, Auntie H and her boyfriend Keith all came with us. Mommy, Daddy and all Daddy's family love this restaurant. I had some of Mommy's lunch, and it was yummy!

Giving Great Grandmama a big hug ...

And some good sloppy kisses, too!

A Visit from My Cousins

Last weekend, Uncle Bill, Aunt Alex, Olivia, Nick, and Sophia came to Birmingham to visit us. My cousins are a lot older than I am, and I had so much fun playing with them. We all met at Great Grandmama's house.

Uncle Bill, Aunt Alex, Olivia, Nick and Sophia gave me this cool tube for Christmas. Here I am, assessing the situation.

Everyone urged me to crawl through the tube, so I began ...

Again, I stop to assess the situation ...

And I head back to Daddy.
(Note: I did eventually crawl all the way through, and it was fun!)

Hi everybody!

Sunday Visit with Great Grandmama

Great Grandmama always wear pretty necklaces ... And they taste pretty good, too!! When I chewed on her necklace, you could hear my teeth against the metal. Everyone was really freaked out by this sound. Haha!

Do you like my crazy pants?!

Our Sunday Visit

Every Sunday, we visit Great Grandmama. We really love seeing her, and she really loves seeing us, too! Sometimes, Great Aunt Carmen and Great Uncle Jimmy come over to visit with all of us, too. It's our Sunday ritual.

I really like Great Grandmama's beads.

Great Grandmama has this pillow with Nutcrackers on it, and they are so colorful. I really like looking at it when we visit her house.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Happy Birthday to you ... Happy Birthday to you ... Happy Birthday dear Daddy ... Happy Birthday to you!

August 26th is Daddy's 33rd birthday. Daddy, Mommy and I have all enjoyed a wonderful birthday weekend. Mommy and I made a special dinner for Daddy on Friday night, complete with some yummy cupcakes from Edgar's Bakery. Those are Mommy and Daddy's favorite!

On Saturday, we had lunch with Uncle Pax and Aunt Steph, and I got to meet Uncle Pax for the first time. We had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. Mommy and Daddy set-up Uncle Pax and Aunt Stephanie way back in the day, and they just celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary. I can't wait for them to have a cousin for me to play with someday!

On Sunday, we went to lunch at The Bright Star with Great Grandmama, Papa Tom, CoCo, Great Uncle Jimmy, and Great Aunt Carmen. Daddy has been going to The Bright Star with his family since he was my age! I napped most of the time, but Mommy and Daddy really enjoyed this birthday celebration.
