Jude’s 2nd Birthday

September 15, 2015 by Aliesha

We had a fun time celebrating Jude turning two years old!

When Grammy was here over labor day weekend, we had a little celebration.

On his actual birthday, we had a family celebration after church.

Jude was quite excited about his train set, and he’s pretty much been playing trains 98% of the time since Sunday!  The girls have been in on the fun too!

We kept it simple with cupcakes.  He liked the candles!

Cow Appreciation Day 2015

July 16, 2015 by Aliesha

This week we once again celebrated Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A!  They graciously give you a meal combo when you dress up like a cow, so our family always has a great time participating!  My kids were so excited about it this year.

My mom made their shirts this year, which was so much simpler for me than cutting out black spots for everyone, which is what I usually do.  We had cow masks leftover from another event, so those completed the outfits!

I loved their braided tails!

We met a bunch of our friends for breakfast (6 moms and 10 kids in all, I believe!).

The girls were completely enamored with the big cows!  Jude hung back for a second, but he soon became interested too.

Vera kept giving this cow a hug!

We let all the kids play on the play place for a while, then (don’t judge), a few of us went to another Chick-fil-A in town for lunch!

The kids were excited to meet another cow there too!

The kids are still talking about our fun day!

Did your family participate in Cow Appreciation Day this year?
