Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
We seem to be mostly back up and running – though no one can leave a comment (working on that) and I did lose last week’s posts. So, we’re going to recreate them this week!
Samantha and Robert went to the Dad Daughter dance and they looked about as good as anybody could!
Love this dimpled duo!
The party was Barbie themed and Robert said he got a dance or two in but Samantha mostly hit up the dance floor with her buddies.
A fun night!
In between the start of baseball this weekend….
Robert and I got all dressed up and went out for a good cause!
A good weekend all around!
We had a room full of girls and they all had fun! There was LOTS of bracelet making going 0n (and the bracelets were a HUGE success thanks to GJ’s work organizing words into little bags and pre-cutting elastic!)…
some nail painting…
some Bingo games…
lots of singing and dancing…
I love seeing her giggling and laughing!
But most importantly, there were lots of friends!
Make a wish birthday girls!
The best birth-TAY par-TAY for my favorite Taylor Swift fans!!
Happy birthday Samantha and Frances!
A few things that just can’t be beat:
1. having a birthday one day apart from your BFF
2. having a birthday party on your actual birthday
3. have that party be all things T. Swift!
We did all that and more on the morning of Samantha’s birthday. She and Frances had the ultimate Pajama Par-Tay-Tay!
I got the club all set up for the party with different stations – complete with appropriate lyrics! We had a Taylor bingo game, face gems, bracelet making, and nail painting.
We also had a DJ station complete with microphone….
and some really excited DJs! haha!
They were actually great, did a fantastic job, and were super helpful! Couldn’t have done it without them!
The birthday girls!
And my favorite Swiftie loving 9 year old!
We even had a special appearance by #87 at the party! Yay Robert!
More party fun tomorrow!
On the first day of 2024 we got up, put on our crimson and headed to the Rose Bowl! Roll Tide!
We ended up taking the light rail out to Pasadena and then hopping on a shuttle bus to actually get to the stadium. It worked great!
Everyone was excited to see the stadium and we took lots and lots of pictures!
We had great seats and the sun really warmed everyone up – and made it a little hard to see but we managed!
It was a great game – lots of highs and plenty of lows.
While the game didn’t end the way we wanted, I’m so glad we went. Robert checked off that bucket list item and we all got to see what ended up being Saban’s last game. We were there for the end of an era and that’s pretty cool.
Sometimes you just have to say “yes” to crazy ideas and this is one I’m so glad we said “yes” to! We flew home the next day landing in Birmingham at about 10:30pm. It was a rude awakening for school the next morning but definitely worth it. Roll Tide!
