At a little Bavarian inspired restaurant, our fun loving group of friends met up for breakfast to celebrate Derek's birthday! I'm still not sure if the kids were buzzing from the excitement of being together or buzzing from the amounts of syrup and sugar they had with breakfast, but either way, I think we all had a great time.
Thanks Brittany for inviting us. Thanks Derek for having a birthday. Here is Derek with his beautiful daughter, Jane.
Once our tummies were full, we headed to support over our precious Lilly at the annual fundraiser "Buddy Walk" for the Down Syndrome Association of Mid Columbia. Look at this group of amazing kiddos that were excited to be able to show Lilly how special they think she is! We are grateful to know Lilly and thankful to have her in our lives, and thankful to have been able to participate in a wonderful cause to support her.
Along the one mile walk, they had pictures along the way of all the people with down syndrome. Here is Lilly's poster! 
The whole gang with Lilly's picture.
I just had to post this close up of the picture- isn't she a doll?!!
This picture below is funny in a couple of ways. #1. My Ella has a crazy mad crush on Reid, she watches everything he does and in this picture just captured it. #2. I have no idea who the random kid is that hopped in the picture (middle, back) but his mom was off to the side, beaming with pride that he was posing so well for a picture... I'm confused.
After the walk, there were lots of activities for the kids.
The artwork was not up the standards of face painting as the Seattle Zoo, but it did take three times as long. Sheesh.
Here's the gang after they hit the hair and face painting tables. You wouldn't know it to look at all of them, but I'm pretty sure they were having loads of fun. We love you Lilly and can't wait to do the Buddy Walk again next year!
