The Patio is COMPLETE. As of Mother's Day Sunday we were moving our furniture back on and LOVING every minute we are able to spend on it.
To break it in Josh could think of no better way than a fish fry! He LOVES a fish fry... so do I! So we invited lots of fun friends and embraced the chaos that became our second annual Habel Family Fun Fish Fry.
I took lots of pics that afternoon before the entertaining began so there is some changes in the set up from day to day life. I'll post more soon of the patio before and afters.
It's important to keep the short guests occupied so their parents are also able to enjoy the evening.A three person slip and slide (available @ your local Target for nineteen bucks) seemed to do the trick that night! Huge Hit and highly recommended...
Beau Caroline in her party best
The newlyweds even made an appearance!
The Millers and the Lipscombs
"Fry Talk"
The crazy zone!
Plenty of cold "can" beer - another fish fry staple for Josh
Our friends are always so gracious to contribute to the good eats.
Everyone brought the most delicious dips, sides and desserts...
as you can see there was NO shortage of yummy dishes!
Josh and his right hand fry man Dustin!
Fancy, in her most practical 5 inch lavender fry shoes and our dear neighbors Summer and Zach. Summer just finished her final radiation treatment this last Thursday... what a year it has been for her - It made my heart warm to see her smiling face that night! Love that gal!

A big time was had by all... at the end of the night (around 1 a.m. for Josh and I) we are so thankful for each and everyone of these friends and what they mean to us.
Happy to host such a fun event every year to bring them together in one special place. How lucky are we?
