Wow! What a Weekend!

Well, this past weekend, we experienced:

1.) Trey's first fireworks
2.) Trey's Birthday
3.) Trey's Baptism

The weekend was non-stop fun (and now...we are exhausted!). Trey had a really great weekend. On Friday night, we went to the a local fireworks show. Trey loved the fireworks and just started giggling when there was a series of loud booms all in a row.

On Saturday, we had 23 people (all family members) at our house for a cookout and cake. We also celebrated Grandpa Krohe's birthday (Trey and Grandpa share the same birthday).

And...today, Trey was baptized. Trey wore his new suit and was soooo excited for this occasion. It was really beautiful to see him baptized and to have most of our family present for this special event. After church, we went out to eat and then went back to our house for Trey's birthday party. Trey really enjoyed the party and of course, the presents. He got a little overwhelmed at times with the large group of people and he also had difficulty in sharing his new toys with his cousins. However, he made it through the day (and the weekend). We know that he is still in adjusting to many things (and my extremely huge family can be a little overwhelming, I'm sure...).

We have to say that we are so thankful for all who came to the birthday/baptism. We really enjoyed seeing everyone and being able to share these special occasions with you.

For those of you who missed these events.....here are some pictures from the weekend:
