1. Jack's Birthday Party
Forgive me for the mass amounts of photos. I have 3 pictures on my phone so I decided to download some from our camera. On Saturday we had a party for SBJ. Friday night Ashley gave me a huge box of Mickey Decorations, Miked picked up a balloons and I baked 36 cupcakes -- we were set. (Don't worry -- we still had lots of great food & drinks.) Kelly came in town and helped soooo much with setting up and then cleaning up. SBJ was in good spirits the whole time. It was a great bash.

Kelly and the kids got into town a few hours early so that we could catch up. Not only did I really need her help it was also nice to actually have a few moments to speak face to face and not just via phone.
3. Owen finished his cards
Next week the boys celebrate "Friendship Day" at school. They will actually be missing the party because they will be in Chicago while Mike and I are in the Bahamas. On Thursday we picked up cards for the boys to fill out for all of their classmates. Owen was finished that night. Cameron on the other hand is not even half way. He has needed some coaxing and basically has had no interest. He is also filling them out in order of his favorite people. These two are different and different can be.
4. Momma, Momma, momma
When the twins were little my dad taught them how to say, "momma" it stuck. Usually the boys start of EVERY. SINGLE. SENTENCE. with the word, "momma." Somedays it is overwhelming. Saturday morning it was a LOT. It didn't bother me at all but Mike eventually took the boys out of the house so that he didn't have to hear them say, "momma" one more time. EVERY. SINGLE. SENTENCE. ....and I am not really exaggerating.
5. It's all picked up
Last night after the party Kelly did all the dishes. This morning when Mike got up (yes--I was actually able to sleep in!!) and finished picking everything else up. It was absolutely wonderful. This is a perfect example of why I am such a lucky girl.
Jack's Birthday Party looks truly adorable. The little guy had so much fun in birthday bash which is clearly seen in these photos. My son will also turn one in April and I am thinking to host an outdoor party at some beautiful venues in NYC rather than a house party. If you have some good suggestion for outdoor party then please share!
ReplyDeleteMy only suggestion is to provide good food and alcohol for the adults!! At least that is what is helpful in our family. Good luck and congratulations on making it a year!
