C-L-E-M-S-O-N!!

I was so excited to take Callie on her first trip to Clemson this weekend! We went up and back Saturday to visit Uncle Alex and see Cousin William at his 1st Birthday Party. Mom rode up there with us so we had some company on the trip. Once we got there we were hungry so we stopped into Peppino's Pizza- I hadn't had it in over 4 years! It was just as I remembered, yummy. Callie enjoyed her lunch as well, although I can't say it was as good as ours. :)
After some retail therapy downtown- it's changed so much since I've been there- we headed on over to Kate and Andy's house for Williams' party. When we got there we had the two little ones say hello. William was a little overwhelmed by Callie who LOVES all small people.


It was then time for William to put on his bathing suit and eat some cake. His mom had to help him blow out the candle, but he had no problem eating it. He was SO cute and it made me really look forward to Callie's 1st Birthday bash.


After getting cake all over the place, it was time to hit the kiddie pool. Callie brought her bathing suit so she and William could play in the water together. Callie loves the water, so put that together with a little person and she had a blast.



William tried to escape a couple of times, Callie just couldn't get enough of her cousin!


Here's Kate and William with Callie and I after their pool party :)
Time to open presents! William had just as much fun playing with the bows and boxes as he did looking at the new toys. Cute!

We said our goodbyes and made plans to see each other soon. We already miss them! Callie was exhausted by the time we left there, she and buddy took a nap on the way back to Clemson from the Floyd's.


We then took a quick tour of Little John and Death Valley, couldn't take her to Clemson without seeing the Tiger and the Hill! We had also bought her a cute Clemson pink hat for her to wear. It didn't really match her awesome outfit that Amy so graciously monogrammed that morning for us, but orange and pink work right?

So excited to see the Hill! Hopefully a future tiger, I'm not pushing it or anything...
We had a GREAT visit and can't wait to go back for football. G-Kat bought her a cheerleading outfit that she'll be able to cheer the Tigers in come fall!

The next to last picture is a framer for sure...she looks absolutely adorable! The pink hat (even though it's Clemson) and the lime green butt ruffles make me what to eat her up! So glad we got to visit for a little while on Saturday! Give her a kiss for me!
