In Which There are Birthdays and Visitors

This weekend my parents came out from The Homeland to pay us a quick visit on the holiday weekend.

They had the intense privilege of being here for Eli's inaugural birthday party!  He was so very excited, and had been talking about his birthday for weeks.  (He got to experience the wonder of birthdays a few months ago at Isaac's party.)

Here are some scenes from the weekend.

This guy turned 3!

And he's the cutest 3 year old around!

Snugglin' with Grandpa in the morning.

"Watcha-'oovie, mom!"

Helpin build a fence to keep the bunnies out of the garden

Grandma pushed us on the swings!

All the Menfolk went fishing.

Success!

Raya refused to participate in the picture-taking funtivities.

She attached herself here instead.

  

Getting ready to party!

He had the biggest grin when we sang to him!

And he sang to himself throughout the day as well.

Ready to open!

I wanted to get these, but John said No.

So got a cowboy hat instead.

and boots!

and... a horse?

We got Isaac a hat too.  

Since Isaac had graciously shared his birthday, we figured Eli could share just a little too.

We had a fun weekend with Grandma and Gramdpa!

Come back soon, guys!
