Birthday Bash

  I now have 2 children that share a birthday in January, Connor who just turned one on January 3rd and Lindsey who just turned six on January 28th.

I really do try to stay on top of the birthday parties and such, but you know sometimes the days just keep on passing us by and then before I know it, it's almost time for another one {Elizabeth will be 8 in March}  So I had to scramble to get a party on the calender quick before I had a third one to worry about.  :)

 So with a quick run by with my large families schedule, I was able to make it happen this past Sunday.  Lindsey was thrilled and could hardly contain herself all weekend long.  We went to a local Goodwill on Saturday to look for a dress, unable to find anything, she was not disappointed.  She had plenty of ideas as to what she wanted to wear for her big party.
 *I also was not disappointed when I went to grab a gift for Lindsey and Connor and stumbled upon some cute, teal boots for Lindsey, for a clearance low of $6 at Target.  :)

 The party was a success!  The kids, okay and adults, were loaded with an assortment of brownies, cupcakes, ice cream and P-nut butter M&M's that would satisfy any every sweet tooth. 
 * I promise we don't eat like this on a regular basis.  :)

 Happy Birthday Lindsey and Connor!  We love you so much!

Little guy loves him some balls!

For the past year, Adam and I have been getting all of our children
piggy-banks for their birthday's.  Connor, however, was terrified
of his..it was pretty funny  :)  So here we are petting
the pig to show how nice he is!

Only just a *hint* of the cousins enjoying some goodies!

My newest little nephew Donato. He is so precious!
We love us some babies!!! :)

O'h, I almost forgot to mention. We have a family tradition for the 1st year birthday parties we allow the birthday boy/girl to dig into a cake of their very own while we all watch with our cameras, video recorders, ect. 

Because I was so late at getting the party going this year, my wonderful sister Amanda {Brooklynne's mama} allowed Connor to dig into his first birthday cake along with Brooklynne earlier this year.. thanks Amanda!  :)

We couldn't believe how much cleaner Connor was than Brooklynne..
he is known to love his food quite well!
But hey, no complaints here... clean-up for me was a breeze! :)
