Sorry about the lengthy post - but I have a LOT of pictures to share. And actually, (Believe it or not)... This is really just a few of the pictures that were taken yesterday. We have hundreds (thanks mom!)
So it was a Western/cowboy/cowgirl theme. It was fun to decorate and dress up for... and everyone got really into it! Here are just a few pictures before the party started.... (Before all of the craziness!)
My Cowboy!
I think he's a pretty cute cowboy if you ask me....
My little cowboy & cowgirl... (Drew refused to keep his cowboy hat on, so his outfit was just a little incomplete for the majority of the day.)
Drew with Aunt 'Cha cha'
Andrew with his yia yia and sister Amy
Drew and aunt Jo-Jo!
Emma & uncle Matt - being silly. Always!
Emma & "Baby Fi". This is pretty funny... Emma and Ffion are about 3 months apart, and have spent a lot of time together, but Emma has always referred to Fi as 'the baby.'
CAKE TIME!!!
I got this gigantic cupcake thing for the kids (and really, it was probably 60% icing, but oh well, once a year, right?) So actually all of the kids wound up just digging in and going to town on it!
Emma & Drew with Mimi
They kept feeding eachother cake
My mom and her girls!
This car was such a hit! (Thanks Tracy and Bryan!)
This was one of their presents, and Drew wound up just driving around the party the rest of the day. He crashed into walls a few times, but eventually he started to get the hang of the steering wheel and brake.
I just wanted to try to capture the total chaos that was going on when we were opening presents. This doesn't even do it justice.
Thank you to everyone that joined us yesterday for making their birthday so special! We had so much fun!
