Old McDonald Had a. . . . Birthday

Josiah has (nearly) three cousins that share his birthday. It has always been a dream of mine to all celebrate together. My amazing sister- in- law Laura planned a farm themed party that we had at her parents' beautiful farm in Iowa. It was such a fun time of laughing, eating, playing and best of all just being together!

Annette and Anya are only a month apart and quite a pair

The farm really has sheep and chickens- don't you love it!!

We brought a bunch of hay in the garage (it was freezing outside) that had coins hidden in it. The kids hunted for the money and collected it in their little pails. Notice the little sheep behind Josiah? 

There were 20 pregnant ewes on the farm and about half gave birth before we got there, and 2 gave birth while we were there. I was in love and they even gave me some cuddles.

 Steve and Bev gave us a horse pulled wagon ride around their farm which was a fun end to a wonderful day!
