the night of the 18th at a George Strait concert. He was going to leave straight from the hotel the morning of my birthday for a job to Dallas, TX. This began the longest birthday celebration ever...Peyton and I met at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street from the Gwinnett Arena on the afternoon of the 18th. It was such a relaxing afternoon. We even had Carrabba's deliver dinner to our room. After dinner, we rode the hotel shuttle across the street to the Arena. We saw Sara Johns, Little Big Town and George Strait. I've wanted to see George in concert for years. It was so exciting. The show was fantastic. He is a true performer, and maybe the last REAL cowboy in country music. Someday I'm going to take the kids to Texas for one of his rodeos. My only regret is that I don't have pictures for the blog. I just didn't think that you could take cameras into the arena. I was wrong, we walked right in and people actually had their camera's around their necks. I was so close too...I am only okay with this because I am determined to go back next year and get those shots. Our plans changed on Saturday when we woke up to snow flurries. Peyton an
d Neil ran out to load up the job before the snow had time to stick. I had to make it from Duluth to Conyers to Jonesboro and back home with all four kids before the snow stuck. Needless to say, the snow DID NOT stick. The good news is that the kids did get to play in the snow and Daddy was home for the night, not leaving for Dallas until Sunday morning. When I picked the kids up from my mom, in Conyers, on Saturday morning, I realized it was the first time I had seen my Mom on my actual birthday in years. She had a cake and presents too. Party Number 2 was short since we were trying to outrun the snow. The girls also decided it would be very funny to say it was Aunt Bobbie's Birthday for the rest of the day instead of Mommy's. Too much time with the cousins. They had a great overnight visit at my Mom and Dad's house. Destiny and Michael stayed with Rabun and Mary and I hear they really had a blast too. Since we didn't open presents with the kids with the first cake on Thursda
y night, Peyton had another one on Saturday. Party and Cake number 3. My Mom and Dad bought me a beautiful jewlery box...one of the stand alone pieces that is about four feet tall. Peyton and the kids picked out a beautiful pair of hand painted glass earrings and a string of chocolate, fresh water pearls. They are really pretty and I was most impressed that Petyon picked them out because of all of the "browns" I've been wearing lately. I had no idea how well he was paying attention to my clothing choices. Major brownie points for Daddy....
