things are woolly

we had a great weekend up in the high country!  the weather was very fall-ish and we took advantage of that, especially since it will feel more like winter later this week.

our friends the byrne’s made the drive up from georgia for a quick weekend visit.  we enjoyed playing outside and we also went to the woolly worm festival in downtown banner elk on saturday.  we watched some worms race up a string, ate some fair food and got to try out a few bounce houses.  we found a woolly worm on our walk to the festival and he was our special pet for the day.  we named him freddy!

      

sunday after our guests rolled out of town mommy and i went to tweetsie for the afternoon to celebrate my friend maggie turning 4!  it was great seeing her since we haven’t seen each other in awhile.  we enjoyed being at tweetsie too since we haven’t been yet this fall.  they always do such a wonderful job there of decorating it for halloween and the harvest.

we have been enjoying the awesome fall weather lately!  here are a few pictures of the best time of the year in the high country.

     

 

  

I AM 5!

my birthday was almost two weeks ago, but the celebration seemed to last longer than a day since my party was a few days later and we also had company in town!  on my real birthday, daddy went and got me donuts before he went to work, then i went to school and mimaw and papaw arrived in town shortly after i got home in the afternoon!  we had fun playing and had some cake and ice cream before i got to open lots of gifts! 

           

friday my friend amy and her baby brother wyatt arrived for the weekend!  we had a great time playing together and it was so exciting for her to be there for my birthday party!

    

 

saturday was my first real big birthday party with lots of friends!  it was a pool party at the Y and it turned out just perfect!  about 12 friends came and we swam, ate and opened presents.  i got a lot of nice things from everyone!

 

    

    

while mimaw and papaw were in town, i really enjoyed showing them my house and around our town.  one nice afternoon, we went and picked out pumpkins!  fall is really great, especially where we live!
