It's that Time of Year.....

It's that time of year again, when all we can talk about is cupcakes and we have to show off the newest tattoos (from our goody bags of course).  Yes it's birthday party time!  For those of you lucky enough to plan for a summer baby (coming from someone who has 2 winter birthdays) and the endless possibilities of a kickin' party, we salute you!  Fortunately we have some friends with some of these birthdays and have been to some sweet parties this year.  I don't ever remember going to these types of parties as a kid.  We were excited just to be able to take a friend or two to Chucky Cheese.  Now we have Monkey Bizness parties (the best place on Earth), pool parties, and even rented jumpy houses.  Kids' birthday parties is where the money is at!  And now with our group expanding exponentially our weekends can get pretty booked by these parties, but the kids just absolutely love them and that makes it worth it, right? 

Two weeks ago Kennedy turned one.  Party stats:
1.  location - pool (on a hot day was perfect!)
2.  theme - bright flowers
3.  goody bags - great tattoos, curvy straws, and candy goodies!
4.  dessert - colored cupcakes! (parents compared poo colors later)

Great party with great food.  Laurel knows how to keep the kids happy as well as the adults with the delicious food.

Last weekend was Julian's 1st birthday party.  The kids had a blast at the park/playground and pretending to be dogs. 

Party stats:

location - Broomfield park

theme - puppy party (so cute!  the kids had ears, listened to "Who Let the Dogs Out", and ate PB & J  biscuits)

goody bags - stuffed dog, candy, more tattoos

dessert - assortment of cupcakes, cake, and some delicious parfaits (and my favorite, puppy chow)

 All the kids (I know it's not great, but getting all 10 kids to sit together was an accomplishment)



The best part of this party was the theme with the decorations and favors - the girls are still playing with the ears and acting like dogs. 

Whew!  We'll have a few more birthdays soon, but of course, we always love to get together with our friends and get the kids together for some fun too!
