Look at all those presents!!!
The theme was obviously Barnyard. Here is the food table...
There was a bucket of chicken feed...
Chicken Fingers and Pigs in the Blanket...
Cow patties...
There was also a veggie tray, beans, and potato salad.
The Cupcakes...
Pig, sheep and cow cupcakes...
Drinks were outside in a wheel barrel...(root beer, cream soda, lemonade and water)
We had hay bales to sit on...
The farm animals behaved nicely...
Do you see the rope tied to Elijah's swing? That was my dad's idea when he first put up the swing for us. That is so you can sit in a chair and read the paper/magazine and pull Elijah on the swing (since he likes to swing for hours). Everyone got a kick out of Dad's good idea!
Enjoying the beautiful weather as we ate lunch...
Elijah even got to taste Papa's cream soda!!
The guys had fun playing horse shoes...
And they enlisted Elijah as their retriever...
Maddie sure did love that tractor...
Mimi and Mamaw...
Grant...always grinning...
Time for Presents!! The weather was so great we even pulled all the gifts outside!...
Shirt from Alaska from Jannie and Papa Larry. Elijah is saying "Moose!"
"Big Cruck, Big Cruck" (That's how Elijah says 'Big Truck') He loves to point them out on the highway...
Bear ears and paws from Pawpaw and Juju (also from Alaska)...
Elijah got tons of gifts...Thanks everyone!
Time for Cupcakes!!
"Happy Birthday to you..."
"Mmmm, Thank you Mama"
Apparently the party tired a few people out...
We had a great time!! Wish you all could have been here! Now I have to start planning for next year!! :)
In other news:
Beau went to get Elijah this morning and noticed he had broken off a piece of the wooden blind in his room. Its right by his bed and he always had pulled on it to look out the window after he wakes up. So Beau brought Elijah out to me and this happens...
Elijah: Morning Mama!
Me: Morning Elijah
Beau: Elijah, tell Mama you broke the blind in your room.
Me: You did? You broke it...?
Elijah: No, it fell...
Me: Oh, it fell?
Elijah: Yes
Great! Now we have a little liar on our hands!
We went to the doctor today. Elijah and I heard the baby's heartbeat! We also made the appt to have our Sonogram just before Thanksgiving!
Please be thinking of Beau. He is taking a couple of kids from the youth group to visit Harding in Arkansas (where they think they want to go to college) for a Junior Visit Weekend. It is about an 8-9 hour drive. They leave in the morning and return on Sunday. Please pray for their safety.
