Party time!

With family in town for Harriet’s blessing, we decided to have a birthday party/gathering for Harriet’s blessing on Saturday, June 1st.   I didn’t take a single picture, but thanks to Stacy, Char, and my mom, I had more than enough to work with—thanks ladies!

The few nights before this party, Brian was busy fixing up a kitchen set we got from a lady in our ward—it was in pretty bad shape and had mickey mouse characters painted all over it—it still isn’t in awesome shape, but it’s a lot better now, and much prettier with a fresh coat of paint.

Grandma Fae didn’t even know we were giving her a kitchen set and got her this apron, oven mitts, and a chef hat for her birthday—perfect!

These two love to hug.

The night before the party we spent preparing food for the party—Annie was in charge of the cake—it was delicious!

  3. Can't believe she's two! That 2nd to last one with her clasping her hands in front of her birthday cake is priceless. I think I need to show that cake to Cindy - she's already planning out her birthday cake for October, and she loves sprinkles, so that might be just up her alley. Elna truly is a cutie - every time I see pictures of her I tell myself I need to do better at doing cute things with Cindy's hair - she is always such a ragamuffin. I love all the pics, especially the one of Brian sweeping you off your feet, and Elna with her kitchen (what a perfect present for her - it seems like she's always loved helping you in the kitchen), and best of all, the one of your new family of four with all the balloons in the back and Harriet looking like she's ready to dig in to that cake.
