Our Traveling Barnyard Party

The girls had a traveling barnyard come to their birthday party. The children, as well as many adults, enjoyed feeding, watering, and playing with the baby chicks, baby ducks, rabbits, miniature horse, and a goat. They also got to hear the cries of a hungry rooster. We had to move the animals into the garage since it was so windy, but that was a lot better than the snow storm we had to dodge the previous weekend.
Abigail LOVES chocolate, so Momo made her a chocolate horse. She also made the pig and the farm scene sheet cake. As always, she did an amazing job; providing the girls with the perfect cakes.

She enjoyed her moment of individual attention as we all sang "Happy Birthday" to her and she blew out her candle.

Emily was a little shy once she realized all our attention was on her. She wasn't sure about blowing out the candle on her pink piggy.

Chow Time

Ella visited us, but had to stay in the trailer. Abigail was determined to feed her apples, so they gave her so many that she couldn't eat them all, but was so grateful that she gave Emily a kiss.

This is Josh's 4th grade teacher's son, Nathan. He enjoyed feeding Chester the Goat.
The did an awesome job opening all their gifts. We want to thank everyone for all the clothes, games, puzzles, books, money, toys, and cards.

Their Great-Grandma enjoyed holding the rabbit.

Cadee posing with an adorable duckling. This particular duckling seemed to steal everyone's heart.

Joseoh checking out the babies in the basket. Maybe a little too timid at first to actually hold one.

Cadee, Boo, and Emily at the basket. These babies were really the hit of the party.

Emily posing for Mommy. She is so big and has become a beautiful little girl. Abigail wouldn't pose for us no matter what we bribed her with.

Abigail and Emily playing in the pool of corn. They love this activity and could probably spend hours playing in there.
After the gifts were opened, the girls, Michelle, and Alexis played "Hungry, Hungry Hippo", on of my favorites as a little girl.
