A visit to Columbia

Friday I drove down to Columbia to spend the day with my friend Alicia and her son Xavier. I started out by meeting my friend Angela for breakfast, then hit the road. It seemed like I was in Blythewood and at Alicia's house in no time. After a tour of their beautiful home, it was great to sit there talking and catching up while we waited on Xavier to take his nap. We then headed out for lunch at Rush's - I think Alicia knows I always have to eat there anytime I'm in the Columbia area!!!!! We went back to their house and then it was time for me to take some fun pics of her little man - I told her she doesn't have a baby anymore!!!!! Here are some of my MANY favorites.....

I thought maybe we could have some fun with X playing on his mama and daddy's bed. I love the colors....his red shirt matches their room perfectly!

I think he was getting a tad bit sleepy though!
He was soo cute looking at himself in the mirror.
I think he was trying to see how close he could get to me!
Alicia is always taking pics of Xavier so I wanted to get a few of them together - I love these two!
I got a pretty good smile from Xavier as he was trying to climb down from the bed. It was time for snack!

He looks like he is studying is goldfish with a lot of intensity!

Xavier is growing up so fast! He looks like such a big boy sitting at the table.

After his snack, it was time to play a little more. He has a ton of cars and trucks!!!

I only wish I knew what he was thinking!

Making some more silly faces!!!

I don't remember what Alicia was saying to him, but he was paying attention!

Okay, two more - he is just too cute!

Again, I wish I knew what he was thinking - he was really studying his car!

It was great to go and spend the day hanging out with Alicia. I can't believe how much Xavier has grown since the last time I seen him. I can't wait until the next time!!!!

After leaving Blythewood, I headed out to Irmo to my friend Donald's house. We had dinner together and then I hit the road back to Greer. The day went by so quickly but it was good to get away and visit my friends before wedding season kicks in!!!!
