~Friends~

We are blessed to live in an area where there are other families who have the same values.  Our children are able to have a large circle of friends with whom to share life's experiences.  Recently, the girls were unable to attend a couple of birthday parties because of other commitments.  They were bummed, of course, but we were able to make it up by having play dates with the birthday girls on other days. 
Celebrating Halie Cantrell's 4th birthday at the super cool McDonald's playland!

Burl was more interesting in eating than posing.

Halie...all giggles while playing air hockey.

Because mornings are the absolute best time to hit the playland, we met at 10:30 a.m. Due to a lazy summer schedule, Kait and Alli weren't used to playing hard so early, and boy, were they ever tired!  Such fun times for the little gals.  :-)

All worn out and ready to go home!

Celebrating Arianna Gross's 7th birthday at Dairy Queen!

A cool treat, well-deserved...they had to wait in Verizon for
a good long time just previous to this, and they were so patient!

Because Kait and Arianna thought they were too cool to
sit with the little sis, Alli and her mommy had their own
ice cream social.  :-)
