THE FRIENDS & FESTIVITIES!

We invited our family that lives close, the other pastors Sean works with and our small group friends to Gia's party.  There were quite a few kids there, and even though we were cooped up inside I think we all had a good time.  I mean, really, what is there to do at a 1-year old's birthday party besides just hang out and mingle?  We played corn hole in the cafe and I had a game for the kids to play. It was so nice to have some family here to celebrate with us.  That is such a huge blessing!  Our friends are also incredible.  They love Gia as their own, and are a tremendous source of support and joy in our lives.

I made Gia's shirt in this picture, too.  I love how it turned out!

 She LOVED playing with these blocks at the church!

 Our small group friends all pitched in to get Gia's this awesome climbing thing.  She LOVES it and is already a pro at going UP the slide.  Going down it?  Well... we're still working on that one. 



 Some of my girls!
 Isn't she precious?
