Hmmmm, David looks excited about his hand, as Robert looks serious! Settlers of Catan game occupied Robert, David and Jonathan for a lot of the day!
From left to right: Solomon, sitting, David, Jonathan, Bill, and Robert. Getting set up!
Everyone practicing poker faces. Hey, we never found out who won! Who won, guys?
Mandy, bless her heart, occupied a lot of her time cheerfully doing dishes and cleaning. Bill and Diane were tired out even before the day began, and her pleasant help was so wonderful---it helped us get to enjoy the party and guests! When Bill went to thank her, she just smiled and said, "Happy Birthday!" What a wonderful gift! Other family members helped, too, but since Mandy and David were able to stay an extra day and go to Church with us, Mandy's gift kept going, and going, and going...! Like the Energizer Bunny! Thanks, Mandy!
Isn't Holly just the most elegant pregnant lady ever? Here we are on our walk to the park, with Carter wearing one of the dress-up hats. We got to see pretty Christmas lights on some of the biggest trees there as the sun set.
We love this picture! The youngest baby, Raylin, in the family right now was soooo small not very long ago. And in a few months, Holly and Robert's baby boy will be born, and will be the youngest! The cycle of life in our family is so wondrous! Everyone growing, progressing in different ways. What a blessing to have chances to "stop the clock" briefly and enjoy a moment in our family's time. Thank you, all of you, for making Bill's birthday a special time to remember!
What a fun day! Remember family, you are welcome to our "Haven" as often as you can manage! This Sparks Haven was created with you in mind, a place to get away from your busy lives and relax with people who love and care for you. And the clean air is great, too!
