Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
The birthday fun continued on Saturday afternoon when all the girls came back over and we took them roller skating! So fun!
Spencer even got to tag along with a few friends. Let’s just say the girls can skate circles around the boys!!
Happy birthday to this precious almost 10 year old!!
Samantha doesn’t officially turn 10 until next week but we celebrated early this past weekend! Ten years old feels like just the right age for your first “bunkin party” to me! Samantha invited 6 cute friends over to spend the night. I had a little surprise for her and had these tents all set up while she was at school on Friday…
Is that not the cutest?! The girls loved having their own little space all in a circle! Everyone started arriving around 5:00 and they were all just as giggly and happy as they could be!
I took them all out to dinner at Taco Mama where they danced and laughed and yelled the entire time! ha!
After dinner they played Twister…
opened presents…
and had cookie cake!
They then all got into their pjs – Roller Rabbit of course which Samantha had just gotten the day before as an early bday present. 🙂
They then went upstairs to watch a movie…but definitely needed a late night popcorn snack…
and slime time!
I think they were all asleep by midnight (or close to it!) and I didn’t hear them until about 7am the next morning. After a breakfast of mini muffins and Starbucks (of course)…
and a little more slime time…
they all headed home…for now! The party continued that afternoon. More to come tomorrow!
Today is my dad’s birthday – he would have been 74. Here we are in New York about 40 years ago…
I think a good thing to do today to celebrate him is to go to New York and hear the Mighty Wurlitzer at Radio City! Let’s go! Happy Birthday Daddo, we miss you.
We never properly celebrated Maxwell’s birthday back in August…so why not do it in November?! I booked a hibachi chef to come to the house and cook for him and a crew of friends outside. Of course I had to make it a little themed and decorated!
Even my drinks were on theme!
The birthday boy was too busy for a pic but this guy wasn’t!
The chef was great, the food was fantastic and it was the best way to celebrate Maxwell!
Happy belated birthday to my favorite 14 year old!
Spencer had a little more birthday celebrating to do on Saturday! He had some buddies come over around halftime of the AL v. TN game (we will not speak of the outcome of that). Roll Tide anyway!
Samantha also got to have a friend tag along.
We then we headed to the jump park during the 4th quarter of the game.
After the jump park we went to eat at – where else? – Tecate!
And if that wasn’t enough, we finished off the night with ice cream.
A perfect celebration for my favorite 12 year old!!
