Happy Birthday!

Today is my (Chloe) 17th Birthday!

Two days ago I had a tea party for my birthday with all mine friends.

All of us dressed up in old fashioned clothes,and hats for the tea party.

I made an Afternoon Dress from 1914.I bought the pattern from

Sense and sensibility patterns.

We had tea and raspberry cordial from the Anne of Green Gables books.

I made chicken salad sandwiches with a side of watermelon,and pickles.

I also made coconut and raspberry cake! It tasted really good!

I want to thank my Mom,Dad,all my brothers and sister,and the LonginoGirls

for helping me get the party together without all of their help I never would

have gotten it all done! THANK YOU ALL!

Here are the pictures of my wonderful day!

Bowling Bonanza!

On Monday our family and the Longino family went bowling.

We all had a blast!At our little bowling place Monday is a penny-a-pin.

Dad said he would take me anytime,I only coast him $1.05 for two games.

Needless to say I am not a very good bowler,but I had a lot of fun!

All the parents,and the little children were on one team.

All the youth were on the other team.

Noah won both games on our team,

and Dad,and Mrs. Longino won on the other team.

We all had a really great time,and want to go again!

We called ourselves the Amish Bowling League!

Here are pictures of our great night!

Natasha was second place on both games!

Abby and Ty played with Mom

The little children used a ramp,it worked great!

Pancake Barn!

While we were at my Grandparents house we went to a pancake barn.

My Mom found out about it in the New Hampshire magazine.

It is a little family owned Maple sugar farm in Sanbornton,NH.

They run a little restaurant next to their maple sugar barn.It is an all you can eat

breakfast.It was SO good.While we waited for our breakfast we got to go to a balcony that overlooks their maple sugaring machine.That was really neat.Our family choose chocolate chip,orange cranberry,pumpkin,and blueberry pancakes.The chocolate chip and blueberry were the best.The bacon and home Fry's were also out-of-this-world!The maple syrup we used on the pancakes was their own home made syrup.We all had a great time!

Here are some pictures of all the fun!

P.S. They had these great puppets for the children to play with while wating for

the food.I think the aldults had more fun with them than the children did as you will see!
