The Young...and The Restless

We had a play date today with our friends the McCrays and the Sotos. There were already 6 kiddos among the three of us then Carrie's friend came by with her two boys, so at one point in our day there were 8 kids, under the age of 5 running around the house! It was chaos...but it was fun. Auntie Erika picked a great day to visit! Just a few pics before I go lie down. I need to recuperate!

Happy Baby! 

 We just got there and already eating SOMEthing!

Crackin' herself up

Loving on the baby...so sweet!

We tried to get all 6 kids in one picture, but unfortunately this is the best we could do!

At least they're all facing forward in this one...but we're missing one...

Oh, there he is!

Thanks friends for a fun day!

Friday Favorite

 

Happy Friday!

Happy (Belated) Birthday!

Yes, I'm a week late. I'm sorry. There is no excuse other than I didn't feel like blogging. But he deserves more than that lame excuse so I'm putting my laziness aside today.

(do they look alike or what?)

Happy Birthday, Bri! You made it another year...now you're old like me hehe. Thank you for being an amazing father and husband. You work so hard to provide for us and I can't tell you enough how much that means to me. You are the calm to my chaos and the peanut butter to my jelly. I'm so happy that we can celebrate YOU today because you definitely deserve it! Hope your birthday is full of happiness and excitement and that the Lord continues to bless you today and in the years to come.

Happy Birthday! We love you.

A Tiny Party!

After a whirlwind weekend, I can finally breathe again! Planning a first birthday party is quite exhausting!

When I came across this post I knew I had to "borrow" the idea and go all out. I was super excited about the party theme because it suited A perfectly! 

I started with the tiny invitations,

continued the theme with the tiny party favors for the adults as well as the kids,

 (cake pops for the adults)

 (tiny treats and toys for the kiddos)

and made sure the food & drink was tiny as well.

It's in the details people.

We had about 70 people attend her party (I know, that's like a small wedding!)...from family to friends and even neighbors. Anayah did great with everyone and all the attention and scored big time with presents! 

She loved her cake and wasn't quite sure she wanted to share with anyone...except for her buddy Jack. The kids took a few swings at the pinata but in the end B had to put them out of their misery and just bust it open.  She even had a blast in the jumper!

(sadly, the ONLY picture of the 3 of us!)

Overall, the party was a success! I think everyone had a good time and enjoyed spending the day at A's Tiny Party! Thank you to everyone who made it out. We enjoyed having you over and can't wait until her next one (in 5 years).

Thanks for celebrating with me!
