Mackenzie, Abby, & Laura all turn 4 within 1 month of each other. David's parents agreed to host a Birthday Party in honor of all 3 girls at their house on July 27th. As you can see by the pics that follow, a fabulous time was had by all!!!
All 6 kids piled together in the swing. (Grant & Laura Miller, Josiah & Mackenzie Watson, Jonathan & Abby Fischer)
Betty found the cutest cake for the party!!!
Mackenzie, Laura, & Abby admiring the cake!
The 3 Girls.
Jonathan joined the girls for a fun (and very creative!) game of fill the sacks with wool...or stuff the socks with cotton balls.
This is what Josiah was doing while the other kids filled their sacks with wool. :)
Then we went outside for a hysterical game of "milk the cow!"
I just love this picture of David's parents preparing the game. :)
Mackenzie milking the cow while Z-pa holds it steady.
This was my attempt to get all 3 girls together for a picture. How adorable of Laura & Abby! Note my child in the back pouting! She really had an "off" day, to say the least.
Look who woke up and joined the party! Josiah "gathering eggs."
Mackenzie pinning the tail on the donkey.
Playing in the playhouse. (It is complete with air conditioning and electricity. No, I'm not kidding. Granna & Z-pa did not over look anything when it came to that playhouse for the kids.)

Jim, Sara, Laura, & Grant
Just had to include the family pics of our dear friends on our blog, as being together was a highlight of the day.
(Realize, one family lives in Texas, one in Arkansas, and one in Tennessee!)
A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to Zearl & Betty for all the hard work they put into the planning and preparation of the Farm Birthday Party for the 3 girls. Who knows how late those two stayed up making all the fun and creative games for a very special day. They even fed us all a wonderful dinner, too! :) Thank you, Granna & Z-pa! We love you.
Josiah, Mackenzie, Abby, and Jonathan were so excited to see each other at the zoo last Tuesday!
Both girls turn five this month, and the boys are only 6 months apart. Watching them all play together was so much fun. Oh how we miss having them right next door to us! Sweet kids.
I LOVED watching the kids pair off and hold hands as they walked through the zoo. Jonathan and Josiah are easy to see....if you look in the top right corner of the picture, you can see Abby and Mackenzie also holding hands! Too cute.
Here's Abby and Mackenzie enjoying some time together while playing on the playground at the zoo. BTW, we loved going to a zoo in another location. That was a fun adventure, as was the drive there! We loved the time we had together with our dear friends. :)
