Memorial Weekend

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son on June 1, 2010

In addition to it being Memorial Day (did you read the heartfelt post by Dad-oo?) we celebrated two special occasions with some long-time friends. Graduation and a devotion ceremony. And I got to play photographer for the events. It was great, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve done something like this.

Here are just a few of my fave photos of the kiddo from the celebrations. More photos will come, as soon as I finish editing all of them.

It was a beautiful weekend. Perfect weather. Great friends. Fantastic family who spoils us rotten. And our very first trip to Trader Joe’s, where I of course came home with a one pound chocolate bar. In addition to the HUGE box of gourmet chocolates as a thank you for playing photographer. So if you see me in-real-life in the next few days, expect me to be a few pounds heavier.

@Corinne, LOVE Trader Joe’s. I just wish we didn’t have to travel at least 2.5 hours for the closest one. I’ll just have to stock up on the chocolate when we’re there.

Chillax, I say it all the time. Dumb Dad moans and groans over it, but he is not cool so that’s what that’s all about.

@Dumb Mom, Only the cool people say chillax, at least that’s what I tell Dad-oo.

Your little one is so cute… with his little round tummy hanging out. :) Pity round tummies hanging out look good only on little kids!

I visited Trader Joe’s once when I lived in SoCal. Pretty cool store! We don’t have anything like that around here…

Lovely photographs. So jealous of you going to a Trader Joe’s. I so wish we had one here — they look fabulous!

@If I Could Escape, Wish I had a Trader Joes here too. We had to travel 3 ours to get to it.

@Jeannie, The chocolate bar is worth the trip alone. I’ve never seen so much chocolate.
