It was a lot of work for just two hours but worth the effort! This was our first big "friend" party for Elley since we've always just done family stuff. She had a great time with her friends and it was fun to take it all in and watch their faces...when I wasn't being the party manager. Billy was the entertainer in the water for ALL the kids :)
We had pizza and cake, icecream and presents, and then I thought "It's time to go already?!" But, my philosophy has always been that it's better to end while everyone is still having a good time and before the kids start "melting down."
ok, next post WILL BE all about our life in the country. Stay tuned.

Looks like such a fun time. I'm sure Billy was quite the entertainer in the pool! Love the pictures. Happy Birthday, Elley!!
Happy Birthday Elley! What a fun day for such a spunky little girl. My favorites pics are the kids in the tubs. Does Billy hire out for parties? Have a great week. Loving and praying, Ann
Hope, you should submit these pictures to this website: http://creativepartiesandshowers.blogspot.com/ who shows off people's creative party talent.
Happy birthday, Elley!
I think that you and Billy are fun parents. I realize that you can't be fun all the time but it is so good to have fun. The party, party favors, decorations and smiles are just priceless. I also love the "It was Happy"....... I do not know why but you all are a special family for me. Please know that your GranC in Athens loves you and prays for you and believes in JOY for ya'll!!!!
It looks like she had a wonderful birthday party! You certainly did a great job hosting it, I am sure. Billy looked like he was having such a good time in the pool! Happy, Happy birthday to Elley!! (Does she still like Chinese food -lol)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Elley! Love every picture of her. She looks so extremely happy in each one. Billy looks like the most fun daddy. And it goes without saying that you are a beautiful, fantastic, selfless mom! Life in the country....I can't wait to hear more!

I can't believe little Elley is already 4 years old! How did she grow up so fast?
Looks like everyone had a great time.
Wish I were there to hug you all!
Love, CarolSue
I'M BACK!!!!!! I have missed you! Have you missed me? I am so computer illiterate that I made the mistake of thinking I wanted a fancier google page and when I did, it lost my favorites and you were the top of my favorites. Luckily, I finally found Rachel Hannah and she gave me your site again. And what is the first thing I see when I log on? IT WAS HAPPY!!!! My prayers have been answered!! My heart is so full of love and joy for all of you. I am going to continue to pray for happiness and hope and joy.
Remember that Jesus loves you and so do I:)
