We all gathered on Friday afternoon and evening when all our family arrived from Colville and across the mountains for the beginning of a big weekend to celebrate JJ’s 5th birthday and Addy’s first Irish dance recital. We were able to celebrate Andrew’s birthday, too!
I will post the photos from JJ”s Bowling party tomorrow. Addy’s recital photos will come later in the week. A full happy weekend.
On Friday evening we enjoyed Thai food and desserts which included Andrew’s favorite Pecan birthday pie!
Happy Birthday, Andrew!
The rest of these photos are from Saturday and Sunday between the other major happenings. Thank you so much to Laura for all these wonderful captures!
Addy was very excited to show Auntie Lolo the frog or whatever they are called when they are this small. They may be small but they fill the night air with their songs in Spring. It can be deafening.
Addy and JJ are also excited to show us all their small chicks that they hatched from an incubator.
The weather was amazing with sunshine and temps up into the 70’s.
What is that and where are you going with it?
All too soon the weekend was over and our ‘coast’ kids headed home.
We again have happy thoughts and full hearts as we recuperate from all the fun!
Happy U.S. tax day to all of my friends in the USA. Happy Monday to my friends from other parts of the world!

A fun visit and happy birthday celebrations!
Your family photos are beautiful.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy week ahead.
…our family packs most of the birthdays into the fall months!
Tom, we only have one Fall birthday. We have six winter birthdays and 3 Spring birthdays.
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful pictures of your family! I always enjoy visiting your “home”. Happy days! 🙂
Monica, thank you for your visits!
What a lovely fun filled and family loving weekend you had, my friend. Now it’s time to rest up.
Dianna, We did pack it in and the weather was so beautiful. Thank you!
It is always wonderful to spend time celebrating special birthdays and events with family and it looks like the weather cooperated perfectly!
You are right. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and better time together!
Great weather for a great weekend. 🙂
Family together time is the best time – love all those smiles!
Mary, it was the best of times. Happy day to you and thanks for your visit.
Those candid shots are so great! Was just talking to our daughter about how those unplanned photos of “the littles” are the best memories. Of course it helps to have great photographers in the family — and you surely do! Sallie
Hi Sallie, that is so true about unplanned photos. Auntie Lolo is the best in capturing the moments!
Those are great photos, showing the love and excitement of the weekend! Happy birthday to Andrew!
