When we moved into our house there were no other young families on our street. We were surrounded by many loving grandparent types, but no friends for our kids. That all changed last summer when Mia, Gia, and Jace moved in one house away from our house. So we have two boys that love playing with each other, and three girls who love to play, squeal, and laugh...and one house in between all of this. That house is owned by a wonderful couple Dick and Dede. They have grandchildren who have all graduated from high school or are old enough to soon graduate from high school.
The kids love Dick, Dede and their dog. They have helped with plastic egg decorating during Easter, we have gone to their house to see the Christmas electric train set. And this summer they set up a ladybug party for our families. They invited Matt, Grace, Glen and I, Tim, Carissa, Mia, Gia, Jace, and Elliana, and even mom and dad.
They had wonderful food that was all provided by them. Then she gave each girl an apron. Each child got a ladybug box with some toys in it.
We also had a ladybug pinata, in which we collected the candy in the ladybug baskets.
It was a fun evening for all. I feel very blessed to have such wonderful neighbors.
One extra special thing that we did at their house is that on the day of the party the kids painted flower pots.
The next day we got together with Dede to make little fairy gardens. Dick and Dede provided all of the plants and cute decorations. The kids had so much fun picking out what they wanted in each of their gardens and trying to decorate them the best way.
Thank you for such a wonderful evening and event!
