We end summer here with the annual ring of fire at the lake. The night was gorgeous - the fireworks were everywhere - and the bonfires glowed all around the lake.
Then we kicked off fall with Emma's Monster Truck birthday party. The skirt of her dress has all monster trucks on it!
A big truck came to visit and the kids loved it! They also had their own road course to drive on.
It was quite the event! But the best part was when Emma's Uncle Mikey and Auntie Ria arrived and shared the news to the rest of the family that Emma will be getting a new cousin! We are all excited - especially this grandma who will be so happy to welcome a new grandson in January!
I am also excited to be hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Have fun with my sketch! I love to see how everyone interprets sketches in their own way - I'll be visiting galleries! Hope you play along!

While I love the card and love the leaves and love the sentiment, it's the monster truck party I love most. Beautifully done, Linda! <3
Lovely card, Linda...and so much happiness for you and your family. Emma's party sounded like a blast and congratulations on expecting a new grandson.

Wowza....a wonderful card and lots of wonderful news and wonderful pictures! How exciting to be a grandma again! Emma's party looked AMAZING! I'll have to show Cassidy...her daddy drives one of those big trucks!
CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family on the great news! (Big giant hugs!) So happy for you all! And Emma's party looked like so much fun. I wonder if I'm too old to have a party with monster trucks? lol
Looking forward to trying your layout.
