Anniversary Weekend

Jason and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary on July 12th and had a wonderful "date night" this past Friday. Nana and Papa Carter came to Atlanta on Friday to watch Harrison while we went to the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead for dinner and to stay overnight. We had an absolutely decadent, five-star meal (that was a world away from the cold, burnt pizza we had on our actual anniversary on Thursday!) at the Ritz that we will always remember. We also "slept in" on Saturday (until 8:00!) which was nice!

Our table at the Ritz had couches!! We were so impressed!



Meanwhile, Nana and Papa Carter took Harrison and Caitlin to Alabama on Saturday morning for Hadley Grace Carter's 1 year old birthday party where they enjoyed playing with their cousins and seeing Brian and Brooke's beautiful, brand new house. Then on Sunday, Nana and Papa helped us set up a birthday present they gave Harrison, which was a little playcenter complete with a slide and swing!

Here are the men working on it as Harrison took his nap. Our plan was to surprise him with it when he woke up, and it worked - he was wide-eyed and thrilled!



We were teaching him how to go down the slide and it was hilarious. Sometimes he would just try to pitch himself forward, other times he would slide down the normal way but would surprise himself by how fast he went. His expressions were priceless!



He likes the swing, but later on was more interested in just pushing the empty swing himself, and not being pushed in it!



Here's a random picture of Vegas and Gracie. They usually nap on different couches, so I had to publish one of them trying to nap together! They are so cute!
