Birthday fun !!!!

alright, another year of birthdays done. (yeah for me !)

this year we decided to have both caleb and baileigh's party outside of the house. that's right we paid to have it somewhere else. let me tell you it was the best money ever spent. we show up, we party hardy and we leave. all we had to do was up our trash in the cans and walk away.

i'm sure i can speak for a lot of moms out there when i say that i can't really enjoy my child birthday party. if the party is at my house i go into OCD mode and get a little freaky. i can't get the house clean enough and can't really get in to havin' peeps there 'cause i want to make sure that the house is perfect. usually i don't get cake and i never eat at the party.

so this year . . . we went for the change up. caleb and baileigh both had their parties at the local skating rink. ha...ha... baileigh who turned 4 in april had never even skated. the kiddos had a blast. cousins from near and far had a great time.

this year at school caleb is one of only 2 boys in his class . . . so i knew that it might be a long shot to have kids from his class at the party. i was a nervous wreck wonderin' and wishin' that a few of the 'girls' would show up. caleb was so happy (and so was i) to see 5 chickies from his class.
those girls sure gave him a run for his money. he was smilin' all afternoon.

thanks to all the birthday wishes this year!
