Memorial Day Porch Party

May 27, 2015 by Aliesha

On Monday we decided to invite a few people over for a Memorial Day cookout on our porch!  We’d recently hung cafe lights and wanted to enjoy our outdoor space before it gets too hot this summer!  We carried all our tables and chairs outside for this, but maybe in the future Tad can build us another table to stay outside permanently!

The kids (eight total) enjoyed playing with the sand box, swinging, running laps around the house, playing croquet, and just being silly.

We ate burgers and all the fixings, as well as chips, baked beans, macaroni and cheese, pasta salad, watermelon, brownies, and strawberry ice cream.

My friends are just stunning.  For real!!  I’m so blessed by their love for the Lord and their encouragement in motherhood!

We really hope we’ll get to use our porch for more gatherings like this in the future!

      We’d love to see you guys this summer! Baby is due around the end of August, but I’m sure it will be early or mid-September in reality. 😉
