Birthday Party Cookout

We always host a big family cookout in the fall to celebrate Leah & Joshua's birthdays, since they're less than a month apart. We enjoy lots of yummy food and fun times in the backyard, where the adults can talk and the kids can play. They loved riding in the Dune Racer (that Joshua & Leah got for Christmas last year from my parents), playing with balloons, playing kickball and golf, and enjoying our play structure...and riding the new scooters that Joshua and Leah got from Grandma Martha and Granddaddy Bernie for their birthdays! The weather was 100% NC fall perfection and it was the perfect afternoon and evening for the party.

The funny thing about the kids' party this year was that I also got chosen to host a Butterball House Party the same weekend, so we combined the two events, had most of our food costs covered, and had some fun toys, gifts, & coupons to send home with everyone.

We loved getting to have everyone over to celebrate the birthdays of our sweet Joshua and sassy Leah!
