Auntie Allie's 30th Birthday Party

Image
Mom threw Auntie Allie a TEA PARTY themed 30th birthday party and it was SOOO fun! She learned how to make macarons for the first time and they turned out perfect thankfully! She was able to get some great deals to get 10 tea pots and used all the tea cups/saucers that she got from her Nannie. We all dressed up and had hats and gloves for everyone;) We enjoyed tea party foods/treats and played some fun games with Allie's friends. Poppa, Daddy, James, and Joshua dressed up as servers and did a great job serving and making sure we had enough tea. It was a wonderful day! Mom is SOOO grateful to have her as a sister and to celebrate her life. Families are the BEST! 

James Pinewood Derby

The Activity Boys gave all the boys kits to make pinewood derby cars. Mom helped James choose his shape, cut it, sand it, paint it, and then put the correct amount of weights on it. It was a sweet experience to do it together! His car performed well and stuck in the top 5! 

Joshua the Chef!

SIBLING LOVE...kinda
