Birthday Party Time

We went to a joint birthday party for Raymond and Jennifer on Saturday. Raymond's birthday is the 6th and Jen's is the 9th. The girls made them a special treat at Grami's (see Grami's post for close up pictures). They were very excited to show off the treats.
The party got an exciting start with the cows across the road getting out. We had a lot of experienced men there to come to the rescue. It took them no time to lock the cows back in their field. Good job boys!


It was a beautiful day. The kids played outside most of the afternoon and night. There was lots to do and explore.


The kids spent a lot of time in the woods looking for animals. They made new friends and explored as much as they could.


The party was at an old schoolhouse across the road from Raymond's parents. We've gone to several parties here so it's becoming a familiar place for all of us. Marcus was in his element. He was covered in dirt from head to toe right from the start.


Raymond's nieces were at the party too. Here are Emma and Addison eating dinner together. They hit it off right away. Don't they looked like little adults having a casual conversation. It was so sweet.


There was a little area with colors and color books that kept the kids occupied part of the time.


And a piano right behind the color table for the kids to entertain us.


Elle was a pro by the end of the night. Nice work Elle!


Addison, Emma, Haley, Olivia and Marcus had a complete blast together. Such good memories!
