We drove to Quincy this past weekend to visit with Ben's family. On Saturday, we visited with Ben's dad's family at his parents' farm. Grandma brought a huge tub of assorted homemade cookies and put them on the coffee table. Dexter, who doesn't usually eat cookies, wouldn't stop! He took a nibble out of every single cookie in the container (I think I'm going to have to commission Ben's mom to make a whole batch of sugar cookies just for Aunt Bonnie). Dexy must have eaten at least three whole cookies and then celebrated cousin Aaron's 3rd birthday with chocolate cupcakes.
On Sunday, we celebrated Grandma Wolf's 86th birthday with Ben's mom's side of the family at Best Buffet. Dexter had his fill of Chinese food before enjoying more chocolate cupcakes (at least we got some green beans in him by feeding him with chop sticks). It was wonderful to see family again and to meet Uncle Fred, Aunt Sheree, second-cousin Brantley, and Aunt Patti - all of whom Dexter had never before met.
