Saturday Evening

Saturday evening, we had a few friends & family over to celebrate Labor Day! Jordan, as always, was our grill master for the event. He grilled up: BBQ and seasoned chicken on sticks, brats galore and hot dogs. It was delicious! Everyone brought such tasty sides and we enjoyed the cool evening together.

Close up of the chicken and brats - yum, yum, yum!

Aren't they little cutie pies? I think they look so alike in this picture.

Our lovely neighbors and good friend's - the Smith's - also came to play

Colleen and Lily have become fast friends. Lily enjoys snuggling with Colleen. And chatting to her. A lot. Oh, and chewing on her leather purse! (Sorry Colleen!!)

My family also came up for the par-tay! Here is Angela and miss Leelee

Briana came too! She had the night off of work. She got to meet Miss Savvy

My Mom figured out how to keep Lily still on her lap - let her chew on a cute bracelet (Sorry Mom!!)

I think this picture is hilarious for a couple of reasons. Reason #1: Briana is sporting a classic Briana face. She thinks something is very funny right now but is a little unsure as to why it's so funny. Reason #2: Jordan is enjoying his food and about to laugh as well and has the look to prove it.

We had a sidewalk chalk competition - the topic: what does Labor Day mean to you? Colleen and Candler took 3rd place! As our partcipants chalked (?) I read out fun facts on Labor Day. Did you know it was initiated in 1894 by President Grover Cleveland? I sure didn't...

Jaye and Savannah - love that smile!

The giraffe tent came out to play! All the babes thought it was awesome. Cue Aladdin music - a whole new world!

Daddy and Lily in the aquarium tent. Yes, we love tents at our house ;)

The wee ones started to tire around 7:00pm and everyone went home. It was such a great night! Unfortunately, having a party at your house means a big mess to cleam up! But, we didn't mind. I love, love, love to party.
