Mikayla's Party!

Well our party tried to get out of control...and it ALMOST succeeded.... from the party event not getting our party table set up on time, rather 15 minutes late, to party guests being there before we were set up.... those kinds of things that make it feel hectic.  However, Katie and I rocked it and proceeded as if we had all the time in the world to get it set up exactly as we wanted it to be!  Thank goodness I brought my own table too, because we didn't have enough room LOL!

 

We had a treat table and a food table... I didn't want either one overly crowded! 

 

 

 

I ordered a plain frosted cake from Sams and had an Olaf topper made for it!  I love love love how it came out.

 

 

 

 

 

We made all of the crowns (by made, I mean I bought preassembled visors, we reversed the visor and cut out the crown and added a snowflake) - they seriously rocked!  We had reindeer ears for the boys.

 

 

So after we got set up, Katie and I went to the party that was already in progress.  These kids had a serious blast, I'm still getting comments from other parents about how much fun it was!!! 

  

We had a truckload of kids!!!  I couldn't believe how many kiddos we had!

 

More to come!  :)

 

 

Birthday Morning!!!

I cannot believe that Mikayla's birthday has come and gone already.  We are suffering from a birthday hangover at my house LOL!

 

Her party started on Friday when the whole school sang to her at morning announcements

 

 

She had also brought a cookie cake to share with her friends AND her Nana and Papa both got to go have lunch with her!  GREAT times!!

 

Here is her little set up for her real birthday that was on Saturday :)  (she desperately needed a bike, her knees hit the handle bars on the last one - waaaaaa)  So I figured we'd all be out there at different times so I set this up when I knew we would all be there!  I had it all ready to go then sent her upstairs for a little while then when she came down this is what she saw.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's our little girl when she saw her presents :)

  

 

 

 

 

She was SO surprised!!!

 

 

It does not bother me in the least that I can fit/ride her new bike better than my own bike where my feet don't reach the ground...whoops.

 

 

I did need to lower the seat a little bit for her but she could NOT wait to go try it out, there is a learning curve to front and back breaks...I sure hope she doesn't flip herself over the handle bars....  yikes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!

I can't believe it!

 How we went from this......

 

 

To this........ so incredibly fast?

 

Fastest 9 years of my life!!! 

 

Such a little munchkin.  When we met her (3 weeks earlier than planned) she was an 8 lb 4 oz bundle of joy and wonder!!!   I have never ever been so in love!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What an incredible journey motherhood is.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.   Mikayla is such a joy and is really developing into quite a wonderful individual. 

 

I wouldn't trade any of this for the world.
