Stella's 7th Birthday

this year we kept it simple. kinda.

8 kids to see the movie "Epic" right after school the friday before Memorial day weekend.

after shepherding 10 kids in and out of the theater (no small feat), we transported them back to our place for playtime, pizza, cake and presents.

attendees:

Luke and Liam chasse (and Mom, Amy)
Lilly and Grayson Bagley
Grant and Gracie Elfvin
Summer Lipp
Delilah and Gigi Shaw
Harry Osterman
and of course, Stella and her best buddy, little brother Dylan.

then we left for L-Town on Saturday morning where we celebrated again with Nana Bampi AJ and UJ:

and then sunday... we went creekin' of course!
