Ryan and I took Friday afternoon off so we made it to Ames by 3. We spent the afternoon catching up and watching Brenna cruise around the living room. For dinner we had pork burgers and brat patties - yum!
Saturday, in Bohlen family tradition, we went to a few garage sales. I think we all found at least one thing. We got to one garage sale that had homemade gluten free cookies! That in itself was worth it for me. I also got some books. And Ryan's grandma got a gorgeous mahogany dresser - I almost wrestled her for it! And Ryan's sister and brother-in-law got a pretty oak hutch for their new house. They'll be closing on the house in a few weeks and we got to take a quick tour. Gladys, the woman that is selling it, has lived there for 50-some years and has accumulated a TON of stuff. She had some amazing antiques and gorgeous furniture - there was just so much it was hard to get around. We're glad we got to see the house because Steph and Jared are planning some major renovations (shhhh...don't tell Gladys!) It'll be especially fun to see the finish product since we'll know what it looked like before.
Saturday night was the Bohlen crew as well as most of Jared's immediate family. We had delicious homemade chili followed by apple pie, apple crisp and apple cake (Friday morning was a baking bonanza!) Brenna got to open all her presents and be the center of attention for a while (as if we don't all stare at her enough!) She's just so darn cute!
Below are some pictures from the weekend...as always, click to enlarge.
