Fifth birthday party
I have been trying to write this post for ten days.
Over the last ten days we had another damaging storm that caused a gigantic tree to sideswipe the house. We lost power again for several hours. We canned 37 quarts of vegetables and then watched our garden, pummeled by storms and zapped by intense heat and drought, die a slow and agonizing death. We spent three exhausting days completely overhauling our unfinished basement, getting rid of or donating almost ten years of unused stuff.
It's been quite a stretch. And that is my excuse for why Trey's birthday party pics are late. We won't mention the other excuse, the one that causes me to get all weepy and snatch a 50-pound kid up into a cradle hold.
So the forecast high for the day of Trey's party was 102. That's right. So putt-putt effectively flew out the window. Don't worry, we took him the night before, and were highly entertained.
We opted instead to use the church gym and have riding toys available for Trey, Aden, and the other boys and girls Trey had opted to invite. It was a fun time, surrounded by precious family and friends. (And we got to celebrate Nana's birthday too!)
A great party for a remarkable little man. Happy fifth birthday Trey!
