Aubrynn's Tea Party~

This year we celebrated Aubrynn's Birthday with a Tea Party. Since she was born I couldn't wait until she was old enough to have one, and this year she finally was. I have been telling her for months that she was going to have a Dress-up Tea Party for her birthday, and the closer it got the more excited she was. I don't know who was more excited really her or me, but either way it turned out fabulous. There were 8 little princesses that joined her for some tea, and it was precious to see all these little girls getting excited to drink tea from real tea cups. Since at a tea you have finger foods, I made the girls butterfly sandwiches, scones, cookies, chocolate candy flower and butterfly lollipops, pink rice crispy treats, and the cutest little princess cupcakes ever. Instead of playing games we had craft time, the girls made butterfly wands, and flower beaded necklaces. After craft time we sang Happy Birthday, and opened gifts. Aubrynn told me when her party was over that she had the best birthday she ever had. It made my day that she had such a great time. Here are some pictures from her party..

Bye Bye 2010 Hello 2011

2010 has definitely been an eventful one, so I'm welcoming with open arms to a great new one. This year Brandon had to work the evening shift, so the kids and I spent it with the neighbor and her kids. Earlier in the day we made it over to the firework stand and it seemed like everyone in our area had the same idea. We still had some ariels left over from 4th of July so we got some for the kids to do.

I made pigs in a blanket and nachos and watched the ball drop live at 11pm. After, we all went outside to do fireworks. I just have to say the sparklers that Brandon bought were a bust, the old saying goes, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself, or buy it yourself! lol

Aubrynn and Brycen had tons of fun with the fireworks, but Braden on the other hand was so scared he peed his pants. At midnight I got the pots and pans out for the little ones and they kept screaming "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY", I have no idea where they got it from but it was cute. Well here's to another year, 2011 here we come.

California Pizza Kitchen...

It's my favorite restaurant so Brandon took us there for lunch.. Had a good time, Brycen wasn't able to join us because he was in Austin with my folks..
