<\/a>Yup, he was surprised!<\/p><\/div>\n
It wasn’t a huge turnout but it’s always nice to get together with family and meet others as well. All the kids had a great time playing together and the food was delicious. We got home late in the afternoon and went for a walk since the weather was beautiful. We made the rounds of the neighbors’ houses to say hello and then stopped at the Thompsons’ house to chat for a bit while Chloe and Gabriel played with Leanna. There is something magical about that “golden hour” just before the sun sets.<\/p>\n
