Yaaaaahooooooo!

The day finally arrived - and it brought the rain with it!

This year, our little miss decided on 'Jesse' from Toy Story 2.
She has wanted to be this crazy cowgirl for about 6 months! As with birthday 'themes', she usually sticks to her guns once she has decided.

Granddaddy and Grandmother dropped by, in what is now a tradition, to see the costume and the girl.

First 'Trick or Treat' down as Miss Louise's house.


Yo Gabba Gabba (L.), Jesse, and the beautiful pink princess (E. F.) live just around the bend.


Posing with Daphne from Scooby Doo (Lou) and the White Fairy (A.G.)

Leaving a house with her loot!

Even though we weren't able to make it to parties that were rained out - we had a great, soggy, time!

Day at the Farm

Possibly, my favorite event at our Church. We got there early to help set up the covered-dish tables. There was SO much to do.

Ann and Campbell entertained themselves for a while, while their Moms helped get everything ready.

Of course, Daddy joined in on the festivities!

There were hay rides (through the Haunted Barn) ...

Unicycles?

Horseshoes (and target practice with pellets) - I didn't do a shabby job, if I do say so myself!

I believe there is a written law about face-painting being a 'requirement'!


We had about 350 people there. Another 'written law' at the Presbyterian Church states that...
"If thou gatherest one plus any others in the presence of God and everybody, you MUST serve food." And, we did!

Frances and Betty are also on the awesome Social Committee, and we helped get drinks and chicken and to organize the essentials for the covered dish and pie contest.

Dr. DeCelle is part of a mountain dulcimer group that performed in addition to a hammer dulcimer group from Florida, Sweet Prospect.

First Presbyterian Law #3...
"Thou shalt always have the good graces to invite Mama Jama! "
(and the privilege of hearing those stories!)

You can just guess from her face that she had a great time, played with the Frisbee and side-walk chalk, etc. , etc., etc.

For the end of the day, it was so nice to see all of these sweet little ones still having a great time. LOVE this shot of Andy.


Luke tried on Campbell's Frisbee hat, as well!

Campbell and Lily, thick as thieves at the end of a great, beautiful day.

Until next year!
