August B-Day Party

So we have a lot of birthdays during the month of August in our family. So, every August we pick a Saturday to get together with all my sisters and their families and my dad to have a b-day party and just hang out together for the day. Normally we go to Chattanooga to my dad's house but this year we had it our house. We were going to go to our swimming pool but on Friday a big red sign that said "closed by order of the Knox County Health Dept" was posted on our pool. It was closed all weekend but opened back up on Monday. I still don't know why. So, we did not get to hang out by our pool. So, instead we just hung out, ordered pizzas, and had a swell time visiting with each other. Of course, the kids played and entertained us. Here are some shots of the day......

And what would a birthday party be without cupcakes - Elaina had 3 I believe, someone who will go unnamed kept giving her one.....

So, because the festivities started at noon (Elaina's usual nap time), we decided not to lay her down for a nap. At 5:00pm, the girls sat down to have some quiet time and watch some TV, Elaina fell asleep upright in this rocking chair. It took her less then a minute to sack out.

Of course, Nell had to get in on the picture taking action
