On Friday during the day we hung out with Papo and Nonna Barbara.
In the evening we welcomed Maddi into the Catholic church. It was a beautiful ceremony.Maddi wore the gown that has been passed down in my Mom's family and is about 95 years old. Owen wore it as well.

We had dinner with everyone at the Spaghetti Warehouse in downtown Toledo. Lucky for Lucas (Jen and Todd's son,) he is the only picture we got from dinner. Such a cutie. The evening was so wonderful and it was really nice to spend time with everyone.
On Saturday we went to the hands on museum. Owen really enjoyed trying out all of the exhibits.
We also hung out at Brett's parent's house.
On Sunday before we left we went to breakfast for my mom and to the mall for a quick visit with Santa. Owen and Maddi both did very well! Owen asked for a Mack truck and the rescue helicopter. Twice. I think he was really excited:)
Thanks everyone who was part of this special weekend!
