Bella's 5th Birthday was actually on September 25th - one day after mine.
Saturday we celebrated both of our birthdays with this beautiful cake!
She is so beautiful!!!
And funny and sweet and everything you want a great granddaughter to be!
THIS was her BIG birthday present from her parents and it was such a big hit!
Snyder, Texas is like living in the desert and there's a huge track around the place where kids can ride their wheels and grownups can ride the Commander and four wheelers and such.
This was Piercyn's first time to drive the four wheeler by himself and he did a really good job of it!
Chris is SUCH an amazing guy!
He's the best husband and father and loves his family fiercely!
And Chandy is every bit as wonderful as Chris!
Chris is a master griller and smoker and has been cooking ever since we got here.
Saturday night was hot dogs and sausages.....
and pepper poppers!
Guess who made those???
He does love a good fire!
Saturday was October First and the first pumpkin of 31 to be be carved into a Jack-O-Lantern!
I am doing the Great Pumpkin Project for all 31 days this year!
Chandy's house has been full of friends and family as we gathered together to celebrate Bella's birthday.
Piercyn and Cassidy helped me carve this pumpkin.
Piercyn did the eyes, I did the brows, Cassidy did the nose and her sister did the mouth.
The nights are beautiful here......
Louis Dean and I sat out with our evening glass of wine and enjoyed this golden moment in west Texas.
This Jack-O-Lantern greeted Kaitlyn as she came home from work late Saturday night.
I put it there just for her!
Sunday morning was yet another birthday cake and celebration!
Look how sweet Bella is and her little friends!
They are the sweetest girls.
Here's Kaitlyn and her boyfriend and Bella!
We gave Bella her gifts then and she loved the Mommy/Daughter matching aprons.
Plus, we gave her some cooking utensils to match her mama's!
Sweet!!!
Sweetest!
Louis Dean has enjoyed his visit with not only the great grands and his beloved Chandy and Chris - but with the critters, as well!
This is CoCo and he's wondering how he can sneak her out of here and into his truck.
He would take her home with him in a heart beat if he could!
Then there's Symba.....what's another cat added to our two???
Speaking of which - we will be visiting Amber soon and taking our girls home with us.
They love visiting and I am hoping they will love coming home just as much!
Amber's all decked out for Halloween!
LOVE her garland!!!
