memorial day party!

we got to spend the day on saturday with many of our favorite people...friends from college.
we laughed.
and ate.
and talked.
and ate. :-)
people came from as far as Texas! (yay, becca! :-))
it was so great to see everyone!
and lots of them finally have kids so our kids had a BLAST!
at one point we had 7 babies sleeping at the same time...spread out in rooms (even a bathroom!) in pack n plays all over the house!

a "show" put on in the yard.












thanks to this thing (that we rented for the day) i hardly saw my kids all day!
and actually got to have some REAL conversations with people - i wasn't expecting that!
{and leah and i even tried it out! it is FUN!!!}

i wish i had taken more pictures.
i have many more pictures of the kids than the adults...

the fogarty's stayed overnight and owen slept with our older 3 - that was a big deal - and they did great (it helped that they were SO exhausted from all that jumping and playing!)

what a day.
so many people that we love in one place.
so many blessings!

that is SO fun to see those FACES!!!!
oh, i miss that i never get to the east coast to see people.
well, i'll be there in june but it's usually just in baltimore (I might slide to NOVA briefly for one day-we're trying to see if I can pull that off- just me and kids and my mama).
But, SO FUN to see those kids!!! (And by kids, I mean those of us who used to all be college kids together:)

So glad your day was everything you were praying for! I love that Sawyer had a chance at the slip and slide...and the moon bounce rental was surely a big hit with all the kids. Yay for adult conversations!!
