I was literally too excited to sleep when I went to bed last night, still over stimulated from the totally amazing weekend. We had such an awesome time with all the family and friends who joined us. I just laid in bed smiling and recounting every minute all over again.

We kicked things of with a big get together at the house Friday with everyone coming over as they got in town. First my p's and sis, then Joe, Molly and their kids, grandma Marsha and grandpa Joe, and sisters Jennifer and Mary Ellen. It was a beautiful evening and we spent it hanging out on the porch, catching up.

Saturday was Ben's big day and he was an ANGEL. I worried all week about how he would be at the baptism b/c it was schedule for 6:30pm, long before he settled into his 6:15 bedtime. As it turned out, he loved all the attention, kissing and adoring because he couldn't seem to get enough. He smiled and cooed through the whole baptism and didn't even peep when he was blessed with the holy water.

I dropped him off at home for bed and joined the group at Club Lucky. Cathy, Bryan, Alex and Emily; Barb, Scott and Eric; Brenda and Rachel; Dot and Curt, and aunt Mary Anne. Our friends joined us as well and the evening was a great success. It was so much fun to have everyone together to celebrate Ben's big day. It couldn't have been more perfect.

Thanks to everyone who made the trip. We loved every minute of the weekend!
