Miss Kamps to Mrs. Kesel Weekend

Well, I'm sure that this will come as a great shock to everyone, but I am behind on my blogging yet again. I know that I can skip things if need be, but I just hate for cute pictures to go unposted. :) At the end of October, our sweet cousin Callie officially transitioned from Miss Kamps to Mrs. Kesel. We had the chance to go to Tyler to celebrate with Callie and her now husband Doug and were so excited for the two of them! It was a beautiful wedding and we loved every minute of it. My parents came in town for the weekend and kindly agreed to stay here and babysit their little grandson while we were in Tyler. Overall, it was a great weekend and we were so glad for the time we got to spend with both sides of the family. My uncle and aunt live here, so we went and spent Saturday morning visiting with them and my parents. We also happened to make a trip by the store and both me and Eli got spoiled a little bit by Nana and Papa! Here are some of the pictures from our long weekend...they are a little out of order, but see if you can follow along. :)

The Bride and Groom!

The wedding was on the lake in Tyler and it was the most gorgeous evening

Me and my Mr.

Gloriously Wasteful Sunset!

After picking up Nana and Papa at the airport, Elijah had his debut trip to IHOP.  You can see that he was into it!  Would you believe that all of that food was part of the kids meal?

A lot of these pics are from my Mom and Dad's Iphones (so they are a little blurry) but this is just one of Eli being silly at breakfast

Eli getting pampered by his Nana and Papa!

Elijah didn't want to part with his new toys for a minute, not even to sit in the carseat for the way home.

Nothing like a little playtime while Mommy unloads the cart!

Eli says "dan doo Nana and Papa" (aka, thank you!)

I got "pampered" by Nana and Papa too!  My and my new pots and pans and scarf

Modeling my new cookware...thanks Mom and Dad! :)

Papa and Eli searching for a belly button

There it is!

Papa got lots of quality time with Elijah sitting in his lap, any guesses why?

Silliness with the green ball and I am most amused in the background

Delicious fruit and cinnamon rolls from Gretchen

Elijah decided his Great Uncle Edward wasn't so bad afterall :)

Eli was impressing everyone with his book skills

Finding all the animals on the farm

"Eli, where is Old MacDonald?"

"There he is!"

More fun on the swing with Daddy...you can tell this was a popular option with the little guy
