And Lily Turns THREE and afterwards we got to go to the Temple in DC!!

     After celebrating at the Park with Dooders on Friday night, then we got up on Saturday morning and headed to NOVA for another birthday party at the park! This time for our little niece (and the kiddos' cousin) Lily! She turned THREE and we didn't want to miss it!

      It was another beautiful day for a party at the park for sure! Everyone had so much fun playing together and the pizzas that Matt and Ruth bought from Costco were really yummy too! All of the kids played and played and played!

     Then Matt and Ruth decided to head back to their place for cake and presents! And even though it was a little tighter at their house, it was still a good time!! Lily had a blast as did the rest of the clan!

And Princess Lydia!

And Aveline, the Little Sister of the Birthday Girl!

And here we are Ruth and Matt with us at the Temple together.....don't think this has happened since they got married in 2008! And the only reason it was possible today is because Nathan and Sarah volunteered to have all of our kids over to play with their kiddos for the afternoon! That is TEN children in one place!! Yes it is, and YES Nathan and Sarah are Super Heroes!!

 

They even let us grab a quick (or what turned out to be not-so-quick dinner at Five Guys at the Tysons Corner Mall on our way back!). We had a really good day, and are so grateful for all of the opportunities that we got on this beautiful June Saturday!
