Saturday’s big birthday celebration went well and by the end there was paper everywhere with gifts mixed in and little kiddos with weary eyes longing for their nap time. I count that a pretty fun party! We awoke to sprinkles outside which was sad to our Mama and Dada hearts as Charis so loves to be outside but with plan B in action (having the party inside) we set to work with the balloons and decorations. Charis was loving all the balloons and as I was hanging them she was loving the tape dispenser that I did not realize that she had found! With friends and family arriving her excitement mounted and her happy dance began. Lunch was yummy as Brad braved the weather to grill hot dogs which were wonderfully yummy but the kids were not to fond of lunch as they had all spotted the cupcakes (better known as dup….dakes to Drew) early on. After lunch and the yummy dup…dakes (pictures to come soon) present time began. Charis was not super into her gifts she was still really enjoying all the fun and fabulous people who were here but we did proceed. All that was left at the end was Charis crashed out on the floor asking for bed. This is one of my favorite pictures from the party!
