party time!

we had such a fun day! we kept it small this year, and only invited 9 of austin's friends from the farm, church, and school. i was so glad that i limited the number of people we invited, or it would have been way out of hand. the kids had a great time! here is the birthday girl, alice herself! her dress was made by she she made, right before they stopped taking custom orders. i was thanking the Lord every day that i got my order in!  i LOVED how it turned out!

here is mom with miss eva cate! she has sure grown!

enjoying snacks...

we were so glad that lane and luke could be there!

the cake was made locally, and it was fabulous. the icing was sooooo good!! it was strawberry cake.

after we sang and she blew out her candles, she said, "more!?" haha... she liked everyone singing to her!
