Today was a big day for the Britt (James' mom's) side of the family. James' Grandpa's 80th birthday was this week, so the whole side of the family got together and planned a major birthday party/family reunion/Thanksgiving celebration weekend. Grandpa's four kids and their families really put a ton of work into the weekend and we had a great time! For us, the festivities started out this afternoon with everyone getting together at Texas Land & Cattle for a late afternoon birthday dinner for Grandpa Britt. We all got there by 3:30pm and waited and waited to surprise Grandpa. They surprised us by showing up a bit later than we anticipated...haha. They had a bit of trouble finding the place, but they got it figured out and we were all ready to yell, "Surprise!". Grandpa was very surprised - he had no idea that many people would be there!
Here are Grandma and Grandpa walking in.

Ian and Ace, his 17 month old cousin, were too pooped to party any more after the dinner, so we headed back to Gramma K's house for baths and bed for the little ones.
Oh yeah, Uncle Tray changed Ian's dirty diaper for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All that EMT training has given him a strong stomach.
Amazingly, even after such a long day, our little guy had a major breakthrough in his sitting up skills! He sat up by himself, without falling over, and played with Aunt Katie and Daddy for a good 10-15 minutes! We were all very surprised. He normally lasts 10-15 seconds before he plops over sideways. It must have been in honor of his Great-Grandpa!
Happy Birthday, Great-Grandpa! We love you!
