Grace, Breanne, Faith, Toby, Aliya, Madi and Karissa...what a crew!
After everyone got home on Friday afternoon (Derrick had been gone all week) we were finally able to open birthday presents with Aliya. She of course loved her toys, but was most excited when she'd get new clothes. Immediately the clothes she had on would come off and she had to wear the new ones. She's such a girl!
We were able to have family friends over on Friday night for a birthday celebration for Aliya. It was fun for the kids to play and we did have a pinata for the kids to break open.
It was our first pinata and was a success.
After birthday cupcakes, the kids played hide and seek and eventually made their way outside to the garage where the adorned our floor with magnificent pictures of fairies drawn with sidewalk chalk (complete with pixie dust mind you). It was a fun evening to spend reconnecting with friends.
On Saturday, my neighbor claims I cracked the whip on Derrick and we finally finished our landscaping project around our house. (It only took 4 years from start to finish, oh well.) We're pleased with the finished project. The yard is so green, with the wonderful weather we've had this year. It was nice to pull the hammock out today and enjoy it for a while...ah, fall!
