This past weekend we celebrated the dearest Grandma in the world in the big A-T-L. Rachel (my cousin) planned the weekend and it was a smashing success. The biggest surprise of the weekend, was Cole. Cole recently graduated from boot camp in the Navy. He is training to be a medic for the Marines. Grandma is not one to cry, but she was so surprised that she produced a few tears for the occasion. 
We met Mama, Daddy, Geems, and Papa at the mall for some party attire shopping that afternoon. We met the Booth family, minus Richardo :(, at 5:30 sharp in the hotel lobby.
(party bus!)
We then got on the limo, aka "party bus," for the trip to the Sundial. On the trip we toast Grandma, Frances, Mama, Geems, GramCracker, etc. A few tears were shared. The Sundial is on top of the Peachtree Westin in downtown Atlanta. The restaurant rotates 360 degrees, so you can get a view of the entire skyline. It's really cool.

I did get motion sickness though. I think it was a combo of hunger and dizziness. My sweetie, went to the gift shop and purchased Dramamine for me. I was good after that. It never dawned on me that I would have that problem.
(sorry Justin, but the background is so cool)
After a great dinner, we went back to the party bus for a tour of ATL. We didn't view much of the city, because we had a great photo montage video of Grandma through the years. It was so fun! Leigh also did a great mix of jams for the ride. Grandma busted a few moves to "It's Your Birthday." If you haven't heard it, you should download it and play it for every one's birthday in the future. After a luxurious nights sleep at the Atlanta Perimeter North Westin. We met for church and headed to Babette's Cafe for brunch. Can we say YUMMY?!!!! We've eaten there before, but wow, I loved it so much. We all had fabulous food! I had goat cheese and herbed scrambled eggs, with fried potatoes, fresh fruit and a few bites of Justin's cheese grits! It was super. Oh, I also had a cup of white bean soup. So good!!

How cool! You have the sweetest family, and it's so neat that you all get together and celebrate in a huge way for special people. Your cousin looks so much like your mom, and your dad looks like he weighs 110 lbs in the picture of you and him. Has he gone Nicole Richie on us? lol. j/k ;)
Miss you!
