To celebrate the end of Scott's residency, my sister and mother planned a fabulous surprise weekend in Williamsburg. We arrived Friday to find everyone - including the Johnson clan and good friends Donna and Ted Kinni - in Hawaiian shirts and leis. It was a wonderful evening! It was fun, too, to watch the kids play.
MaMaw Sweetie takes her grandmothering seriously: this child-sized dining room table and chairs is nicer than the one in my own dining room! No wonder our kids love going to Sweetie's!
Sweetie hired a babysitter to help entertain the girls.
Bayley, friend Lisa, Claire (Darcy's little girl), and Grace on a bear hunt. Thankfully, it was unsuccessful!

With five kids under 4 in the house, it should come as no surprise that Saturday morning started early. By 9am, we had built towers of blocks, read at least a hundred stories, launched stomp rockets to the moon, and had no less than 10 tea parties. Paul and I are clearly not regretting that last glass of wine.

And then the big shock! Patty, Paul, and MaMaw Sweetie presented Scott and me with a card that instructed us to pack our bags immediately for the Williamsburg Inn! We mumbled something insincere about hating to leave and jetted out the door in record time. After all, we didn't want to be late for our SPA APPOINTMENTS! A day of pampering followed by dinner in the ultra fancy Regency Room - sheer heaven!
Thank you Patty, Paul and Sweetie for this unbelievable weekend, and for all of your support over the past three years!
