Saturday Evening, June 17

~~~

It was a beautiful evening for a birthday party at Donovan and Diana’s place.

It appeared that it suited most of Diana and Donovan’s immediate family members, plus a few friends.

Emmy, whose birthday we celebrated a few weeks ago, isn’t walking yet, but is getting very close – especially when she has a toy to assist her. Emmy and Waylon are cousins.

Donovan and Diana introducing Waylon (one of our great grandsons) to his birthday cake. I don’t think he knew what was happening at this point.

The candle was his first attraction.

A family picture: Donovan, Waylon, Diana and Bennett.

Bennett wanted a taste too.

This is getting messy.

Brothers

Jade wanted a taste too.

Gloria and Zach playing cornhole.

Jenna and Dustan with Nate watching. (This was a few days before Jenna and Dustan’s baby Harper was born.)

Opening gifts.

A bubble “machine” was a popular gift for the evening.

It didn’t take long for the children to gather and want a chance to use it or catch bubbles.

Waylon liked breaking bubbles as they landed on the grass.

It was a delightful evening.
