THE party

it only took us one year to make the executive decision to have one birthday party for BOTH kiddos....and i must say i don't regret it a BIT! as per tradition i made the invites....but this year vivian was a big help. after i printed them in black and white, she colored them...so each one was unique! and before we knew it....

it was party day! the following are just a few of the fun moments captured by our sweet friend whitney...

here, her boys, wilson and campbell, are helping prince bauer put on his magic crown.

and just some of the amazing gifts...

and the MOST amazing birthday girl, who will officially be FOUR on the ninth!! (seriously?! when did that happen?!)

there was play time of all sorts, story time of the classic "tortoise and the hare", an animal show-n-tell (a bunny and a turtle to go with the story, of course), and a very magical cake!

bauer and daddy were pretty excited about the cake. ;)

there was also craft time where we made crowns, magician hats...

swords and magic wands!

then it was time for the BIG birthday song, and the VERY important blowing out of the candles!!

we even opened a few presents!!

can you tell he is a little excited about buzz lightyear? thanks to all our family and friends...you make birthdays and everyday blessed!!
