After lots of hugs and kisses and a long wait for a suitcase stuffed full of frozen Montana beef courtesy of Tony's rancher neighbor, we made our way to Stop #1...The Varsity. The Varsity has always been one of his favorite Atlanta destinations. He put away more food than I could ever imagine such a skinny man could eat: 3 chili cheese burgers, 2 onion rings, a chili dog, and a large frosted orange. Then, we headed to Krispy Kreme for hot donuts.
I took the next two days off from work and spent each night at our parents' house so that we could catch up and spend as much time together as possible. Then, Romeo and the girls joined me, and we spent the weekend resting, talking, cooking, eating, visiting with our grandparents and aunts and uncles, and just having a thoroughly WONDERFUL time.

No trip to Atlanta is complete without a visit to the grease pit.
My mother was overjoyed to have both her children sleeping under her roof again.
The girls took no time warming back up to their nutty uncle.
The weekend was so relaxing. We watched movies, played games, took naps, ate, and talked and talked and talked.
The girls got to open an early Christmas present from Uncle Tony and a teaser gift from Mimi and Pop. Can you guess what Sophie Grace is getting for Christmas?

Our steak dinner-I have to say that Montana beef is definitely better!
Our first night we watched Christmas Vacation for the twentieth time, and it's still just as funny!

Awww...so glad you got to see Tony!! Great memories!! I can't believe Sophie wants to play the drums, or maybe I can...Ella does too! :) Maybe I'll give in one day.
So glad you got to spend lots of time w/ him. Can't believe he ate all that at the Varsity, then Krispy Kreme?! I'd be sick...but it all sounds good! :)
