Sam & Wiley's Birthday Celebration at the Roost


My friend Angie and I have sons born two weeks apart that both attend 5K at Leika's.  According to their teacher Miss Rosemary, they have too much fun together. Sam refers to Wylie as "YY" or "Wildman" and was thrilled to celebrate their birthdays together this year.  I was thrilled to work on it with Angie. She had tons of fabulous ideas for our camping theme.  A few pics below:







The Birthday Boys - Wiley & Sam

 My parents live in the hills of Perry County. The terrain very much reminds me of being in North Carolina.  You would never think you were only thirty minutes from the flats of Selma City limits.  Our family refers to their home and the property on which it sits as the Roost.  Prior to the party detail discussion arising, my parents made reservations for a trip out of state. They were kind enough to allow us to use the Roost in their absence - very much appreciated! 
Of course, the main attraction was the huge hill that all of the boys rolled down. Repeatedly.
This is a pic of Fair with Paul helping her back up.



P.S. did I mention that after a week of temperate weather, the big day saw temps
in the low 40s with 30 mile per hour winds - a little cold!
Hence the pink (of course!) face mask on Fair.

I've always loved MC but my admiration grew when I saw that she had gone
all the way down the hill helping JB back up

Bob Frazer was an answered prayer with the idea of team hide and seek.
The boys had a blast!

Singing Happy Birthday to Sam & Wiley

Mr. Paul singing campfire songs which included Jingle Bells...
Apparently, he needs to learn a few new tunes.

Thank you Angie & Wiley for letting us share this ALL BOY
birthday celebration. We had tons of fun!
Love y'all - jg
