The Fab Five Birthday Bash

     This year, EJ and four of his best buddies (affectionately referred to as the Fab Five) had a joint 2nd birthday party! We rented a gazebo next to a playground and hired a popular local children's band to play. There were three cakes and over 100 people! It was very hot that day (around 100 degrees!) but we still had a great time!

The hot, sweaty, and somewhat grumpy birthday boy!

The birthday kids and their families.

Look at those pink cheeks!

Hullabaloo! (More Hullabaloo here, here, and here.)

Aaron tried to eat the scarf, just like EJ used to do.

We were worried the frosting on the cakes would melt in the extreme heat, but luckily it held up well. 

Gavin (11/12), Teagan (11/8), Andrew (11/3), Ethan (9/30), and EJ (10/18)! 

Pumpkin Patch

We went back to the pumpkin patch at Bates Nut Farm!

EJ and Ethan loved watching a helicopter land.
