As promised, here are the pictures from our fun and busy weekend. Three weeks ago.

It all started on Friday night with Sammy's 4th Birthday Party. I asked him what kind of party he wanted and he said a surprise one. So we gave him a surprise one. Mike took all 3 kids out for the evening, while I set up and when they returned, Sammy was greeted by shouts of "Surprise!" It was really fun.

This was absolutely precious. After everyone yelled, Sammy's little friend ran up and gave him a great big hug. Soooo cute.

The cake.
Thanks Evil Birthday Fairy for putting the finishing touches.

Thanks Shay Shay for the decorating help.
We had a movie fun night. Chicken Little, cake and popcorn.
The kids had a blast...I think. And the parents were able to chat and hang out while the kids watched the movie. Thanks Dave for the projector. It was like a real movie theater in our living room.

Blowing out the candles!

On Saturday, we celebrated another 4th birthday for our little friend upstairs. She and Sammy were born the same day. Cool huh? It was a My Little Pony party with REAL pony rides!

Amina, Uncle Joe, Joseph and Gianna came just in time for the pony party and to celebrate Sadie's dedication on Sunday. Sammy and Thea just LOVE their cousins.

J trying his hardest to smile for the camera after an upsetting episode. What is Sammy doing?
On Sunday, we dedicated our little Sadie. I love this ceremony because Pastor Schuppe introduces the baby to the Belcroft Family and vice versa. It's cute. And he challenges the congregation to help the family raise their kids. I think our church family does a great job of this.

Cousins. Can you tell Sammy love his cousin? So much it hurts.

Pretty girl. Thanks Amina for the beautiful dress and shoes.

Uncle Joe and his gang!

Amina and her 3rd godchild :)

After the ceremony, we had a celebration lunch and I took NO PICTURES, except for one of the cake. Lame. We had a wonderful weekend, not because of all the activities, but because of the people we did them with. We are so blessed to have such great friends and family.

His first surprise party! How exciting! Was he officially surprised?

Gina said...

Yup. He was. It is pretty easy to surprise a 4 year old as opposed to an adult.

What fun! I can't believe that you go to Schuppe's church- I had him his last semester at LU!
