Party Time!

Our friends have had much to celebrate this fall, and we are so glad they included us in their partying. Brittany went with us to Birmingham for Lily's first birthday. Our friends, Preston and Anderson, turned two like us (but Mama forgot the camera at Preston's party). Then, our whole family went to a pumpkin carving party to get ready for Halloween. We've looked forward to each one and have learned that we go to the parties "on Sataday".

The Pumpkin Party!
We had the BEST time at Miss Teila's house for the pumpkin carving party.

(John David, Thomas) We stopped to touch the scarecrow.


(John David, Thomas) We watched Daddy take the top off.


Thomas wishes he could use the knife.


All the little pumpkins


Anderson's Party

We had so much fun at Anderson's birthday party, playing in his backyard with all of his trucks. He even invited the REAL firetruck to his party! It was like living a dream.

Thomas had no words to describe the intense joy of getting into a real firetruck.

John David's were, "I wanna get down," despite his equal affection for firetrucks.

He MUCH preferred playing in the rocks with the birthday boy.

...and swinging!
