Fun times in Colonial WIlliamsburg

Occassionally we do actually get down to the Colonial area and enjoy nice weather and good times with friends and family. Here we are with Grandpa Dean and the Simones.

Coleman's Birthday Party

Coleman doesn't officially turn 1 until the 16th, but due to scheduling issues we had the party this Saturday afternoon. I thought that if I added enough pictures of the birthday party you would all be able to feel as if you were actually here to enjoy all the craziness. (thank you to the Cooks for letting us borrow their great camera)

Braden helps decorate for the party:

Rozy getting into the spirit...It's fun to be 1. Coleman did not know what to make of the cake, the singing, or the party hat.
What is this?

Coleman didn't like eating the cake...

but he did enjoy eating his party hat... Braden was a great Big Brother all day... and enjoyed all the cake.

Sophia also enjoyed the treats!All the kids in their party hats:Opening Presents

some backyard fun to burn off all that sugar... a nice 70 degree day in February!

Walking... Coleman now pushes everything around the house; even items that are meant to be stationary (chairs, small tables, etc.)

We appreciate the friends and family that celebrated with us!
