Sunday Evening, May 22

~~~

Those who helped Natalie celebrate her first birthday – L to R: Cerwin (great grandpa), Luanne & Dale (grandparents) Anthony (brother), Nathaniel (father), Natalie, Abby (mother), Lydia (aunt), Jasmine (sister) and Adrielle (aunt).

It’s always fun to be at a birthday party for a one-year-old because they have no idea what all the fuss is about, but they know it seems to be about them.

Natalie is our #8 great grandchild.

Time for a quick bath

Big sister Jasmine helped with opening gifts.

Abby asked me to take a few family pictures outside – next to the tree on the south side of their house. This photo was a test to see what setting I needed for the lighting. Anthony and Abby

Their sweet family of five: Abby, Jasmine, Anthony, Natalie and Nathaniel

The dog wanted to part of the photo too.

The white bales are holding hay from last summer.

Some of the others joined them.

I asked Abby if I could have a yellow iris root for our yard.

It was a delightful evening.
