Partying with Friends

Bob and Ryan trying out the game Boggle

When we lived in Portland, we lived in a small townhome with parking for only our two cars. When birthday time came around, we had room in the house for our family, but not for many of the kids' friends. Now that we have a large house with plenty of parking, we were excited to be able to have a birthday party for the kids with some of their friends. We had four families over for chili, cake and ice cream, and plenty of board games. Ryan and Emmalee had a great time! All of the gifts they received were perfect for them, and they've thoroughly enjoyed everything! Included below are photos of just a few of their gifts...

Ryan loves to play catch with Bob. He was very excited to get a new football...a big improvement over his Nerf ball.

Emmalee played with her My Little Pony set for hours after the party.

Here's Wyatt...he might be protecting his cupcake from Ryan and Carson.

Almost FOUR years old!! How can that be?

Almost EIGHT years old! Am I even old enough to have an 8 year-old? :)
