First and Second of Three Birthday Parties!

Today we had Evan's kid party and Birthday "Social". It was very casual and fun to see everyone that came. There wasn't that many but still I felt like I didnt' get to visit with everyone as much as I would have liked. Sorry guys! So... For the first hour, we had a little bitty kids party with 4 of his friends from church, 2 boys, 2 girls. We sang to Evan and had cake, which he loved of course. We visited and played. Michael got back from taking our friends, Josh, Lacey and Lincoln to the airport just in time for round 2, the group social where we played bocce, few a kite, talked ate more cake and talked some more. Evan had a lot of fun with his friends and would have liked it a lot better if the weather wasn't so cold, wet or windy so they could have got out in the grass together and rolled around. Also, he decided it was nap time when it all began so finally at around 2 he took a 30 or so minute nap. We are now exhausted and hope we get a great Sunday afternoon nap tomorrow! Enjoy the few pictures I was able to take! Next party is Wednesday on his actual birthday. More partying to be had....


Said good bye to our friends the Smiths, visiting from Texas (more on another post) and....


Off to decorate for the party! When I got there it was soOO cold and windy that I couldn't keep anything tied down. Michael had to take our friends to the airport so I attempted setting up alone. I won't attempt that again. ;)

Here's a view of my handmade 'banner' (triangle thing) and paper chain that has fallen to the ground. wah wah wah...

Kids party Guest: Simon with his Daddy and Charity in front of her daddy who's head is missing.

The kids cake was a mummy head in the middle part (the picture at Sam's was more defined, oh well, what can you do) surrounded by cupcakes, YUM! Thanks Sam's for $9.98! lol

I made his birthday hat from the sunday funny papers. ;)

Mom 'helped' Evan blow out the candle. He looks terrified! Hayden is on the left (tried to help but it was a little 'wet', lol) and Annabelle (Evan's Halloween Date) is on the right with her aunt Heather.

Big kids cake. Isn't it so cute!? I love the Fall!
