What a week-end!

We had FOUR, count them, FOUR, parties to go to last week-end. Two on Saturday, and two more on Sunday. It was crazy! Fun, but crazy! The first party was for one of Mackenzie's friends named Noah. He is now four years old! He used to go to Mackenzie's school, but now stays home with his mommy, so we only get to see him every once in a while. We miss Noah, and are so glad he invited us to his birthday party! You never would have known that it had been a while since Mackenzie and Noah had seen each other. . .they played like the best friends they always were!


Noah's party started at 3pm, my nephew, Ryland's, started at 4pm! Ahhhh! We made it a few minutes late to Ryland's. . .he forgave us! His parents held his 1st b-day at the park and went all out. Ryland had three cakes. . .well, two cakes, and a bunch of cupcakes. The food was fabulous, and so were all of the guests!
Here is the Birthday Boy!!!

Here he is enjoying his cake. . .

I KNOW Mackenzie had a great time! She got to play hopscotch, climb a rock wall, and play with a bunch of her friends. . .including Bethany. . .a new friend she met on Saturday. Bethany and Mackenzie had identical laughs, and it was hilarious to listen to them playing together!
I love this photo of Mackenzie. . .it looks like she was modeling something. . .I am not sure what. . .the slide, maybe? Who knows? She has that certain wind-blown look. . .hmmmmmmmmmm. . .could have been b/c the wind was blowing!



Here is Mackenzie sliding down the slide - under Bethany's legs!


Sunday started off EARLY celebrating my birthday. . .my real b-day is in Feb., but it's hard to get everyone on my side of the family together to celebrate! So, we did it Sunday. . .sorry. . .no photos!

The last party was a welcome home party for Matt's and my great-nephew, Aiden. And Boy-oh-Boy! is he precious!! And HANDSOME! Look at those piggies!

Look at that FACE! Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks?!?!? It's hard getting near him really, his grandma happens to be somewhat of a baby-piggy. It's understandable of course, but one of these days, when she is off her guard, I will hold the baby! :)

While we were visiting Aiden, a friend of the family had his son, Braden, there visiting as well. Take a look at this face. . .Doesn't it just scream out for some smoochies?

Although the week-end was BUSY, it was amazing. We were surrounded by family and friends the entire time. It was incredible! And how could we possibly be sad when we were around so many babies?!?!
