The kids had off from school on Friday, 11/10, for Veterans Day, so we drove down to PA for Josie’s first birthday party on Saturday, 11/11. We also got to spend some quality time with Uncle Tim, Uncle Fran, Aunt Jane, Aunt, Molly, Aunt Liz, and Mom-Mom.
Here’s everyone at dinner on Friday night. Josie was entertaining us all with her game of peek-a-boo.
The next day we helped get ready for the party. Blaine, in particular, was a big help as part of the helium balloon assembly line.
And both kids got some outside time helping Aunt Jane and Uncle Fran rake some leaves. And then jump in them.
During the party Sarah devoted some serious time to doing puzzles. She ended up feeling pretty tired and declared she was ready for her nap before cake!
After the party ended and Josie was up from her nap, it was time for presents.
The kids really enjoyed the donuts served at Josie’s party. Here they are having a post-party snack of donuts with the birthday girl.
Then everyone jumped on Uncle Tim.
