party for two~

friday was a busy day at our house! we were super busy making birthday presents for my mom and then around 4:00 we headed out and hit the road to go meet in M-town for a joint birthday party for my mom and aunt patti who is visiting from texas!

i forgot to get a pic of my moms gift but we made stepping stones for her garden that had the kids foot prints on them.

we had a good time visiting with family. below are a ton of family pics. sorry for friends that read my blog-this post is kind for family. just pictures of our gathering!all the kids minus one
