Snowy Days (before the bitter cold)

 

Kids, Kids, and More Kids

We've been having some friends come over to play lately.  The kids enjoy having play dates, even though sharing toys can sometimes be a challenge.

Eli D - I must not have taken any pics of Eli, but he was at our house one day too.

John's 4th Birthday Party

John was blessed to have many family and friends at his birthday party. We had pizza and homemade cutout "cars" cookies at Village Park. Although it was cooler than most August days, we were pleased that it wasn't rainy.

The kids sat at the table to eat...at least for a few minutes

Trying to get a picture of our family at the end of a long day proved to be challenging.

Emma K's Birthday Party

After the Flip Flop Crop, I stopped in Pella to help Scott set up for a DJ gig. Then I rushed back to pick up the kids from Mom's house. Emma was still sleeping, so I ended up just taking John to Emma Kritenbrink's birthday party at the park. I like the idea of having a kids' party at the park. No games needed, and the parents can still visit with each other.

Their first double date?
