Last Tuesday, Granddaddy turned 89 years old! So we surprised him with all the family coming to Chapel Hill to catch a game and have a little birthday party the weekend before. Scott and I were lucky enough to go down a little early to catch the UNC vs. Dook game at Cameron (with a sitter for the boys so we could thoroughly take in all the Cameron Crazies). This meant that we also got to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Bub and Pop. We also got to enjoy a few weekdays in Chapel Hill and went to KidZoo, the kids museum in Chapel Hill) and spend some quality time in the Dean Dome. We went there everyday and the maintenance staff were so nice to put up with us. They even lowered the goals so Court could dunk – it was awesome! It was also great to see UNC pull out a win over UVA and of course to celebrate Granddaddy’s birthday with great family, a little barbeque, and birthday cake (made by Aunt Sandy no less!)

Court was fading fast…the game was during nap time
Aiden couldn’t resist the sandman any longer and took a short nap during half time of the game. Scott held his head up the whole time.
The Waldrops (Aunt Sandy, Uncle Larry, and Hunter) finally made it to a game all together – their first one in 10 years!!
Bruno also got a new haircut for the special occasion

North Carolina had some snow showers that weekend. We saw lots of snow in Chapel Hill but none mounted up. But when we got home to Charlotte, there was still a little bit left on our porch. Just enough for a snowball fight…
…and the tiniest little snowman ever.
