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!

| 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! 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! :) |
