Saturday afternoon we attended a birthday bash for our friend Phillippe. It was at a park in town.
That is Phillippe’s lovely wife Amanda getting the candles lit.
Here’s a picture of Phillippe and his little girl, Gabriela. Isn’t she sweet?
When you get to be 30, it takes the whole family to help you blow out your candles. Their son Andre is being held by Amanda. He’s either helping to blow or hoping to get a handful of cake. You be the judge.
Oh, gosh, I knew I should have taken notes. This is one of the twin boys born to my friend Leslie last October, but now I’ve forgotten which one! It’s either Tyler or Carter. They are getting to look even more alike as they grow, and they’re so adorable!
Here is Gabriela again sharing a special moment with her sweetheart Noah. Noah is the older son of my friend Alisa. Their family will be moving away to another town in a month or so. We’re so sad to see them go.
It was a fun party! We’re so thankful to have these friends in our life.
