We celebrated a day early because Amanda and Mark
had to leave to go home this morning.
Yesterday was an afternoon of
baseball in the front yard,
steaks and granddaddy's famous mashed potatos,
another round of gift opening,
and then....
a massive fireworks display in the back yard.
Amanda and her brother David chatting on the porch.
Jake,
a complete ball of flame.
Jake in a ring of fire.
Jake and Lucy lighting their sparklers together.
Archie....
after a year with his family,
he gets it.
Uncle Mark inciting Gus to perform his tribal dance.
Lu with fiery pom poms.
Lu twirling round and round.
Jake....
these children had an absolute ball!
They were singing and shouting and running all around the yard
with their fire.
Eli ~ mesmerized
And earlier ~ just before opening their gifts,
which amazingly were all the same size.
These were the buzz words for the evening....
Morning glory~
"Would somebody tell me which team I am on" ~
Grammy's perfume ~
"If you don't eat you have to get back in the high chair" ~
Hark the Herald Angels Sing ~
All agreed ~
It was the best party ever!!!
