Best weekend ever

Wednesday in La Plata, I was feeling kind of down about missing the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.  But we had tons of family stuff to do, and it just wasn't going to work out for me this year.  Turns out that we had such a great time this weekend that I wouldn't have traded for anything.

Saturday morning, Johnny was confirmed at the National Cathedral.  Here he is with the other kids from St. Andrews. 

with The Rev. Christopher Wilkins who was so amazing in helping him make his decision to be confirmed

 

And all of us together afterwards 

Then we all went out for a fabulous lunch at Petit Plats in DC. 

Elizabeth was not with us because her prom was that night, so we got home in time to help her get ready for the big night.  Elizabeth's best girlfriends all came to the house to get ready

and have pictures taken.  Here's Elizabeth and Ben

and the beautiful girls

When the group finally got off to their dinner reservations and the big dance, Bill and I settled in for the best homemade pizza in the history of the universe and some excellent wine. Then it was early to bed because Sunday

Was Colton's birthday and party

Whew!  but it really was a wonderful weekend!
