On Saturday, our friends from Parkwood Middle threw a "Welcome Home, Anna Kathryn" party at a local park. It was a chilly but seasonal fall day, and the hostesses (Allison S., Linda, Randi, and Allison M.) did a great job with the whole bash.
The food was yummy (fried chicken, Paula Deen's macaroni and cheese, salads galore, homemade black bean salsa) and the company excited to meet, at long last, our darling daughter. She worked the crowd like a pro. I enjoyed having plenty of time to visit with friends we just do not get to see enough now that Mark and I both teach elsewhere. The little kids ran around a lot and Anna Kathryn really wanted to be off running with them. She settled for snitching ball caps off of several of the guys' heads and romping with daddy. She also got to indulge in cake icing 2 whole weeks before her birthday party!
The cake was dee-lish. Buttercream frosting and chocolate mousse filling.
Out of all of the shots of our family, we never did get one where we were all smiling. Sigh. Anna Kathryn had a great time, despite this weird expression on her face.
Mark and the girlsAfter a busy day, a bath was a must. Mark, Chief Bather, opted for a rednecky bath in the kitchen sink this night. Anna Kathryn splashed to her heart's content! My sink was real clean and shiny afterward, too.
