On Sunday after church we all met at the Manderscheid house and celebrated our July birthdays. Paige, Brandt, Alex, Asher, Dad, Aunt Cheryl, and all the Manderscheid clan was there (except DJ, he was in Ohio). We ate some wonderful appetizers for lunch and the kids all ate pizza for Aly’s party. Dad had made a flower box for one of our friends and in return she made Aly a Minnie Mouse cake for her party! It was so great!!! All the kids and some of the adults swam for a while and we just had a great day.
Aly really enjoyed opening all her presents this year, She was actually interested in the presents and not just the box’s this year. Dora the Explorer and Minnie mouse was the theme of the year. She got some clothes, another pillow pet, lots of Dora books, movies, coloring books and a few other toys (she’s not spoiled or anything).
We put the kids down for naps around 3:30pm (well Aly and Alex went down but Asher had other plans) and left for the Sugar Hill fire works around 7:00pm. We got there pretty early and all the kids and Adults played games until it was time for the show. The fireworks were amazing (way better the Stone Mountain's ever were) Aly was a little scared at first but once she got in Auntie’s lap she was just fine. She was talking to Auntie the whole time "ohhhh, pretty!" Alex and Asher both really enjoyed them too (along with all the other kids). It made for a long day but it was a great one spending it with Family!
On Monday we were all pretty lazy and recovering from the late night before. Paige and Brandt and Dad came over in the after noon and we had a mini cookout at our house. Dad made ribs and we had burgers, potato salad, coleslaw and hot dogs. As Paige and Brandt were leaving Alex fell and busted his lip open but he’s ok.
On Tuesday we all had to go back to work. Aly was so excited to see Noonie, MoMo, Ethan and Matt since they were on vacation last week. Since Tuesday was my actual birthday Dad let me leave work at 1 and I spend the afternoon shopping with my birthday money all by my self! It was really nice. Then JV made steaks and baked potatoes for dinner, Yummy!!! It was a really great and long weekend!!
Thank you all so much for everything you did to help us all have a wonderful birthday!!!
