The Pruitt's came into town to celebrate the 4th at the church pic-nic.
Cooper and Caleb are instant friends every time they meet. Look how tall Coopie is!
Mimi watched the boys being crazy!
The girls had a blast making those hook lach pillow tops. I remember making one years ago, I was their age.
Chrispy got back from boyscout camp in time for lunch!
What a full table. We sure do miss the Pruitt's being in town.
Oh! this is on a train (choo choo) at the pic nic. Caleb loved it!
Here are the Farrell's next to us at the pic nic. The reason you don't see any guys is that they are setting off the fireworks! And the took my husband with them!
Caleb slept through the fireworks last year, but this year he was terrified! We had to go inside.
Here are the Pruitt's. Everyone having a good time, except the boy!
WE had a good picture last year, but it didn't work out this year. Too many shadows.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!! THE BIG 4-0 40!FOR AMY'S BIRTHDAY I PLANNED A TEA PARTY. I HAD HER GO REGISTER FOR NEW DISHES AND KITCHEN ITEMS AND SENT OUT INVITATIONS TO HER FRIENDS HERE IN TOWN.
