A Visit from Lolly, Pop, and Uncle Logan & A Happy Birthday to Pop

Over the weekend Dawson's Lolly, Pop, and Uncle Logan (my parents and brother) came down for a visit and to celebrate my dad's birthday on Sunday. So far, every year we've lived in Alabama, they have been able to come down for Dad's birthday, so we were excited that it worked out again this year. Dawson had a great time playing with them while they were here and showing off how he can walk. On Saturday after they got here we all went out to dinner to celebrate Dad's birthday and then came back to our house for cake and ice cream.
On Sunday, John unfortunately had to work, but everyone else got to stay at our house and visit. We had a pancake breakfast (Dawson's favorite) on Sunday morning. Then Sunday afternoon we went to the Stride Rite in Parkway Place Mall where Dawson got his first pair of real shoes! This was the rest of his birthday present from his Lolly, Pop, and Uncle Logan. Of course, we made sure to take a lot of pictures of him getting his first pair of shoes. John and I both got a lot of our shoes from Stride Rite when we were little, so we thought it was neat for him to get his first pair from this store. He measure in at a 5 Extra Wide. :) He did really well getting fitted for his shoes, but was really interested in the other kids who were in the store.
We had a great time visiting with everyone while they were here and hope they can come back to visit again soon. Oh, and of course we took several pictures while they were here. Enjoy...
