Happy Birthday McKenna

McKenna really wanted a sleepover and I felt the need to "theme" it. So, together we decided on an American Girl slumber party.

So we decorated and planned art activities!

Maybe you recall what the shopping bags look like? Red with white stars....



 The gifts...





Not all of the pictures came out....

Some sort of battle with the soft blocks.


Making pictures frames.





A few poses by the tree...

The little guy turns 1!

I'll spare you all the details of Sawyer's birthday party having to be rescheduled TWICE due to the stomach bug knocking out all five of us on different days. I'll spare you the details of all of the other visits to the dr.  (pneumonia, ear infections, etc) on top of the stomach bug. Not to mention...all of this just before we begin our travels to Alabama for Christmas!

Despite all of the ickiness, we did manage to have a teeny tiny party for the big boy here at home with just the 5 of us. Then, a brunch with the rest of the family a week or so later. Here are a few pictures from the two events!






Thanks to daddy for rushing to the store at the last minute to pick up some cupcakes. I really hadn't been off the couch much the whole day. =(

Sawyer didn't know what to think....or he was thinking...You've gotta be kidding me. I haven't eaten in 2 days and this is what you offer me? Oh, you'll be seeing this again!



And the brunch....after much rescheduling and disinfecting of doorknobs, bathrooms and toys.










And then there was the cake....


Yes, they're going to let me play with fire. Sweet!

Wait a minute. They distracted me with song and now the fire is gone. I wanted to get it.

 Hmm....Okay, not too bad Dad. Yeah, it's pretty tasty.

Okay, okay....Let me try for myself, already! Geez!

 They'll stop me any minute....but I'll enjoy it while I can.

Hey. What's this? They're laughing and smiling. Okay, You want more?

Oh, yeah! I got more.


And, how do ya like that?

Bathtime!

Happy Birthday Me


After we colored eggs, we had a mini celebration on my birthday. It's strange having your birthday fall on Easter Day.

I'm beginning to LOVE cookie cakes!


Notice what McKenna is doing while I blow out the candles!

Ella's Birthday

For Ella's family birthday party she chose to wear pj's! Comfort is of key importance to her (much like her daddy).  She also wanted to wear her birthday crown from school. Here she is making a sill face.


 
How sweet! She let McKenna help her blow out the candles.



For her "friend" party she chose a sleepover. For some crazy reason, I allowed it.



Thanks the Lord for Hannah! What a Godsend she was during the party! Such a big help.

Some of the guests...

McKenna and Sawyer

Lily and Sophie


Selma 


Hannah and Ella

Cora and Ella

Hannah, Selma, McKenna, Ella, Cora, Sophie and Lily all piled on the couch ready to watch Enchanted.

Decorating cupcakes


Ella wanted each of her friends to get a candle in their cupcake! She is so giving!

Snack on a stick...





And......presents.....







Last but not least...a bit of silliness!
