FLASHBACK FRIDAYS (summer fun)

Chris and Jason

WE WANT TO EAT!

Every night when we come home we have a routine of letting the dogs out, feeding the dogs, making dinner and eating. Violet is usually running (more like wobbling) around during all of this. This particular picture was taken before I let the dogs in to eat. They are usually very anxious to get inside and don't like having Violet right there at the door laughing and pointing at them.

SMOTHERED

Violet likes to cover up her baby.

Of course now it can't breathe.

FIRST FRIEND BIRTHDAY PARTY

Violet went to her first birthday party of a friend on Saturday. Her name is Claire and she turned 2. Violet gets very excited when she sees Claire outside and gets very upset when we don't go out.

Here is Violet and Claire in the big inflatable bouncy. Violet didn't quite know what to do so she just sat there while everyone else bounced.

Chris and I made the cut out bear for the party.

There were lots of carnival games and prizes to win.

We got our face painted, had popcorn, cotton candy, hotdogs (actually just the bread with mustard) cupcakes and icecream. Violet was so wore out we almost didn't make it through dinner because she was getting sleepy. At bedtime she fell a sleep on my shoulder so hard she was drooling and snoring.
