Oh, what a wonderful looking party! Every one dressed up so elegantly and English-y (I made that word up, if you hadn't guessed.)
The boys were absolutely distraught that they weren't able to dress in their finery for a "Lawn Party". You know how much they enjoy those type of activities! The groans could be heard all across the house.
Thanks for sharing such good pictures! Everything looked absolutely beautiful!
Love,
Aunt Katie
Thank you for a wonderful day! It was indeed a success!
You all did a great job planning it and it was so much fun!
Love,
Aunt Molly
What a fun day. So sorry I missed it.
That first picture of Emma is the most adorable. I just LOVE it!
Chris with the ? on his head, soooo funny. I laughed and cried:)
The old fashioned looking pic of Ariana and Grace playing badmitton is so good and so are all the rest of the pics.
The one of the men on the lawn that traveled back in time was fantastic. Great job to whoever did the change.
There are so many great pics. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Love to all,
Mrs. P
Such a nice day. :)
Was it everything you hoped it would be?
Thanks for hosting and posting!
Love,
Mandy Sunshine(:
Oh, my stars! I can't believe I neglected to comment! I guess it was because the post came up while we were traveling.
Anyway, what a wonderful day it was! Everything was just right, and I felt like I was transported back to "Summer Magic"! I thought Os Poppum might pop up at any moment!
Wonderful time, Dischers, and great memories through pictures.
Love,
Grandmother
It looks like ya'll have been having plenty of fun without us again. Oh, well it can't be helped.
But please just as soon as ya'll move up here could you have another lawn party so we can come?
Hmmm, I wonder if you have already guessed who this is? I hope I havn't given myself away already.
