St. Francisville Weekend

This past weekend my family and I went to Ross and Stephanies to celebrate Ross's ordination at his church. It was truly a miracle that everyone could be there and I loved it! Ross's family also came and it was really good to see them too! over the past few years we have gotten to know his family really well since we have had two hurrications at Ross's mom's house :)

Grammy and Ross's Grandmother, Shirley

Me and Steph


We celebrated Stephanie's b-day on Saturday and I was so glad we were there on her actual b-day!


Riley (Stephanie's friend Joni's little girl) helped her open her presents




After church on Sunday morning all the girls went shopping at the cute little shops downtown










I had to get a picture of Grammy and I in our matching outfits :)


Ross and Steph with the Bunch's.
The Bunch's are like Ross's secondfamily..they lived next door to Ross growing up and they surprised Ross and showed up! Of course, Stephanie knew they were coming and kept it a secret...she said there were many tears when they saw each other. Mr. Bunch has been a very influential person in Ross's life and a BIG part of how he got to be where he is today and it was so special that they got to come to his ordination.

We also enjoyed meeting all of Steph and Ross's new friends and church family. This is a picture of them with their friends Joni and Scotty.

It was a great weekend. The ordination service was so special and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. I look forward to going back for "Christmas in the Country." Everybody kept telling us we HAVE to come and experience it...all the shops set up their stuff on the sidewalks, there is a Christmas parade, lots of good food, and you get to look in all of the Plantation Homes.....
they call this the "peep show!" Looking forward to the peep show :) HaHa...I know I am like 12 years old, but it is funny when you read that in the church bulletin :)
