Labor Day Weekend

We soaked up every minute of this 3 day weekend and had an absolute blast.

Friday night was the first night of high school football, so mommy got to spend her evening working some Friday Night Lights.  It was actually pretty fun and it felt good to be back on the sidelines for a few hours.

And then REAL football started on Saturday.  Saturday in Athens and it was time to tee it up between the hedges!  I feel like we kind of wait for football season all year round and it is SO fun when it is finally here. 



Wrigley is pumped about it too...

It was a family affair for the UGA v Clemson game.  The whole Donges crew AND Kel and Jenny came up.  We all got to tailgate together.  It was HOT, but we had the best time. 

How cute are these cousins?



My other favorite little girl in her cheerleading outfit.  Adorable.

 And of course, these 2... First of many tailgates together.

Kate had lots of babysitters at the tailgate.  Honestly, I didn't know where she was half the time!  (mother of the year..?)





And of course.. this little athens family..

We danced, and drank, and played, and sweat for a few hours at the tailgate and then the wonderful Aunt Katie took home the 3 littles so that Dave, Ben, little Ben, and I could go to the game.  It was seriously the most generous thing ever and I was so happy/excited/pumped to go to this game.  Not sure how many games I will be able to make it to this year so let me tell you, that was a TREAT.  (Thanks again, Kate!)

It was Dave AND little Ben's first UGA game.  It was so much fun to go with them and it was awesome to watch that little orange head's face light up walking into that stadium.  



We got there early enough to go down by the hedges and see those football players up close.  Pretty cool.



We cheered our hearts out and pulled the dawgs through to a BIG victory. YES!



There is seriously nothing better than a Saturday in Athens.  

Sunday we woke up and had crazy/silly cousin time.  It was the easiest morning I've had in months.  Kate absolutely loves having her cousins around.


The Donges' gave Kate this awesome teepee for her birthday and it was a hit with everyone!

Then we all headed to Alpharetta for some pool time. 

 And to meet the newest little cousin..
Kate was terrified of her! Haha

Monday was spent relaxing at home with this sweet face

 Plenty of snuggles and kisses from her sister!  


Hope everyone else had a fabulous long weekend... 
Here's to hoping this week feels short, we are off to Chicago next weekend! Yipee!
