block party

I love our street so much!!! I'd better since I have lived here since I was 18 months old!!! We had our second annual block party last month and it was SO much fun. We got a city permit to block off the street so we were able to eat in the street and the kids had a blast riding their bikes and playing basketball in the street too! Jay and our neighbor Erik grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and everyone brought a side or dessert to share. I am so thankful for the awesome neighbors that we have, some of which I have known since I was a toddler! I love that we have older couples, couples with little babies and newlyweds on the street! I also love how many kids are on our street and that the girls are so close with many of them. We will be adding three little boys to the street this summer! Three of my sweet neighbors are due June, July, and August with boys!! My girls asked me the same question this year at the end of the night that they asked me last year..."Can we block off the street every weekend?"
