Stearns & Bartons

We invited the Stearns and Barton's over for a brunch and to fellowship/socialize!

Braeden, Mrs. Stearns, Samuel and Connor

 Amanda, Stephanie and Parker are working on the puzzle

The fruit bowl

The little people table, sorry Braeden and Talbot!

 The adult table where we had some good discussions!
Once everyone was filled with yummy quiche's and strawberry-white chocolate or dark chocolate muffins we went outside to soak in some of the beautiful 80 degree weather! 

Braeden's getting himself a tan!

 Samuel, Talbot, and Connor prefer the shade

 Felicity and Hannah are high nesters! They prefer to have a view!

 The older girls are soaking in some vitamin D and attempting to get what color they can :) 

Look at Aunt Beth, Mrs. Productive!
While soaking in the sun she decided to roll out some peanut butter cake balls.

Mom took out some of her hats so we were all trying them on, this one is my personal favorite :) Even though it totally does not go with my outfit! lol

Parker likes Caramel and she seemed to enjoy sitting in his lap being petted!
(That's one spoiled chicken!) lol

Look at the color on that girls arms! Amanda got some Vitamin D!
Back inside she graced the atmosphere with some pretty piano playing!

This group (minus me) was very adamantly purposed to finish that puzzle before they left! And they were  successful, they left and the puzzle was as finished as it could be, they found that there was three missing pieces, we found one of them in the following days but there still remains two spaces where those two pieces are missing. Woven into that puzzle are hours of laughter and fun with friends! It will always hold the memory that it was finished because Ruthie, Stephanie and Samuel were determined to complete it before they left! That determination made it all the more fun!

After the Stearns left the little kids asked if they could take out the paints

The difference between girls and boys

This is Seth's plate of paint....

and this is Hannah's lol.

We ended the day with a picture of the Mom's, Amanda and a few extra little ones thrown in for good measure! lol
What a cute picture!
It was nice to have you all over!
