Summer birthday season is upon us!
Time to celebrate!
Of course, their parents plan birthday festivities for each child (a family party, an extended family party, friends over, a special outing...) and we are often included in the celebration. Even so, Gran and Papa like to mark each birthday with a little something special at our weekly Sunday gathering. So this week, we honored the dear grand-girlies who have July birthdays: Eve, who will be 9 this week, and Maddie, 12 at the end of the month.

Puzzle races!
Everyone put together the same puzzle, trying to do it in the least amount of time.
Keeping score.
Later this week...
A post about the updated living room and dining room here at Pineapple House. I'll show you what we've done, share lots of pictures of the space, talk about paint colors, and tell you our plans for a few more tweaks.
Now this is a post full of family love! Sweet photos and fun times. :)
ReplyDeleteYippee for family birthday parties. Love that little face picking up over the table top. What a fun idea to have a puzzle challenge. Hope your week is going well.
ReplyDeleteI adore the photo of Ron and Peter (or is it Paul?)!
ReplyDeleteLots of love and birthday fun!
It is Paul, who has really taken to Papa lately! ♥
DeleteSuch loving photos at your home, Cheryl. I adore the little one peaking in the first one. Such sweet grands enjoying the times at the Pineapple House. You always have the best family times. ♥
ReplyDeleteSooo adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos of a lovely time of celebration. You have a lovely family.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day ~ FlowerLady
Your family pics are always sweetness. Two pics stand out...perhaps three. Ron and grandson, your daughter (looking like one of the kids) coloring, and the polka dot cupcakes. Oops, make it four because the photo of Kati and Bekah with the littlest grand is precious, too. Happy birthday to Eve and Maddie; it is wonderful to be celebrated more than once!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet family memories being made here. The photo(s) which are stand-outs have to be that littlest one peeking up behind the table to see what's going on with those cupcakes and candles...such a darling little photo-bomber! Can't wait to see your updates to the Pineapple House :)
ReplyDeleteLOVED your photos of your sweet family and lovely home as always. I think I have to say I am with everyone else though. That little guy peeking out at the table is just adorable. He's such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos giving us a peek of family celebration. It looks like the sunporch is a wonderful addition for your gatherings. The last photo says so much!
ReplyDeleteDear Cheryl, Your photos always invoke such a happy, dejavu , nostalgic feeling in me..Our families are large on both my and my husband's side so really relate.
ReplyDeleteLove how you capture the essence of it...so well.
I gotta say I'm looking forward to be coming a grandma ...Some day!! When the good Lord wills. I'll try and be patient..:)
