Dearest Miracles~
Grace, you never slept in your bed last night. You ended up falling asleep next to me and staying there in our bed all night. Joshua, you ended up noodling into our bed at some point in the night too. It was too early to see what time it was. But, once everyone was settled, we slept in a little. We didn't get up until 7:15am. Then, we all got ready for cousin Erik's Bar Mitzvah.
We stayed in the nursery which was in the balcony section. There was a huge window so we could watched and hear the service via a speaker, but the congregation couldn't hear us and all the noise we were making. ;-) Cousin Stephanie, Charlie, Madelynn, and Chris were up there too. Then, (Great) Aunt Beth came in with Lois and Gigi. Gigi did a reading at the beginning of the service, but then spent the rest of the service with us.

We also saw Grandpa Jim, Uncle James (which Joshua was happy about), Great Grandpa and Rosemary, (Great) Uncle David and Kevin, (Great) Uncle Laurence and (Great) Aunt Marti, cousins Erik and Mia, and cousins Nancy and Al from New York. It was a double service and celebration since Erik's friend, Andrew, was also having his Bar Mitzvah.
Lunch was provided at the Temple after the service. But, Gigi and I ran out for a chicken strip run since the food there wasn't too 'toddler friendly' for you all. ;-) Grace, you napped on Grandpa Jim for a little while as Joshua ran all around with cousin Charlie. Uncle James tried to keep up with you two .... Joshua, you kept saying 'Uncle James' all day. In fact, daddy got a video of you saying his name in the van. ;-)
We went home to change after lunch and then went to Gigi's house to visit with everyone by 3:30pm. Joshua, you never napped. :-P You two went for a walk outside with Charlie, Grandpa Jim, Uncle James, and I. Joshua, you and Charlie held hands for a little bit. It was cute. ;-)
We left around 6:30pm and got to the reception and party by 7pm. Woo hoo .... there were so many people there and the music was loud. You two had a blast running around with Charlie on the dance floor and around the tables. You all were so hyper! I tried to take some photos of you all, but you were so fast and I didn't have my flash with me. But, I got a few. ;-) You two each ate one hotdog and some fries. We left around 9pm, when Grace got fussy. I think Joshua would have stayed all night. ;-) We were home by 9:30pm.
You two were in bed by 10pm. Grace, you fell asleep in the car and didn't wake up as I got you ready for bed. Joshua, you fell asleep in the car briefly, but woke up once home. What a long day little man and you never napped! You were sleeping by 10:10pm.

Sleep tight little ones!
I love you both so much!
