Most of the weekend was spent with Ellie's PawPaw, but we still managed to see everyone on our list of people to visit. We arrived on Thursday and immediately headed up to my Dad's work to show Daddy's work friends the little lady they had all been hearing about. She was a big hit and loved being passed around to all of the ladies in the office. For dinner we went to one of Longview's 724,837 new restaurants ( my little hometown is blowing up!) Fish City Grill.
On Friday we got up and had lunch at an awesome Longview spot called "The Little Thai House" in downtown. After that my cousin Jennifer and I loaded up the kiddos and went out to see my grandparents. Meme and Papaw were so glad to meet Elle finally! After that we headed to Bubby and Jill's to meet the newest member of our family, little Jace. He is 6 months younger than Ellie and soooo sweet! It made me miss Eleanor as a newbie. We finally headed over to my Aunt Karen's for Pizza King (yum!) and then I met Lacy and Camden for some yogurt. What a packed day! Ellie was a champ and did so well. I was a proud mama!
On Saturday we got up and Mom came over to hang out. We got lunch at The Butcher Shop and then shopped for a little while. Saturday night was UFC Fight Night so after putting sweet Elle to bed I went back over to the Garner's to hang out with the family.
Sunday morning was cartoons with PawPaw and hanging out until Jen and I took my sweet God daughter Abby to go see Brave. It was SO cute and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD!
Sunday afternoon we did some quick family photos and then back to Pizza King for dinner. I can't get enough of that place when I'm home!
Today Daddy and I met Uncle Hollis, Aunt Jeanne, and Aunt Patti for lunch in Kilgore and had a nice visit. Aunt Jeanne brought us tons of cucumbers from her garden and I am not sure what I'm going to do with all of them. Pinterest here I come!
After lunch and packing up we said our goodbyes and got on the road. Of course and Etex trip wouldn't be complete without a stop through Nac to see Auntie Lean (my best friend Leigh Anne) so we stopped at The Frozen Goat for some delicious yogurt.
Although we hit some bad weather in Lufkin, the drive really wasn't that bad. I had an AWESOME copilot -Shout Out to Elle for being a great baby and not crying the entire road trip home! It feels good to be home, but I'm already homesick for Longview a little. I may say that I'll never move back but I sure do miss my family.
