Fabulous Friday

We had a busy Friday with lots of excitement for the kids.

Cooper and I started with breakfast at McDonald's.  Greg & Reagan were at a school function.

 After school, we met Mamaw and Papaw half-way to pick up Keira and Joshua

 We ate dinner at McDonald's...

 ...then came back to our house to play

 The boys played basketball

 Finally, it was time for bed.  The girls!
