October 2004

 

We had a big weekend...

First, we went to Lawrenceville for a family cookout

Grant got another birthday cake and was a pro at blowing out the candles

 

He got a new Tonka dump truck from Great-Grandma Benson

 

Tobi's mom and dad came to the party - here's Tobi with his mom

 

And Grant and Uncle John played with sparklers

 

And Grant got to try his first s'more

 

Then when we got home, we had our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party

 

The whole neighborhood came...

 

And brought their pumpkins for carving

We had a train theme - and Thomas made an appearance on the cake

 

Grant liked the blue icing (it was everywhere!)

 

Cole, Katie and Grace are our neighbors - and Grant's friends

Joel, Grant and Owen - three boys born within 3 weeks of each other

 

Everyone had a good time!
