Skylar's Cinderella 2nd Birthday Bash!

I think I will just let the photos tell the story of Skylar's special day...

HaPPy SuNdaY!

So Skylar’s Cindrella Birthday Bash was a SUPER success! She had a WONDERFUL time and I truly think the other partygoers did as well…
YaY!
I am in the process of editing the pictures from her party… but had to post at least SOMETHING!

And YaY for no rain today!
Doesn't mean that we didn't have unseasonable chilly weather (60 in mid-June? Really!?!?) and the MOST dense gray sky ever -- but I asked for no rain and I got it.

So I mentiond last night the Brian was in the midst of putting together her ADORABLE pink retro kitchen… well 2 ½ hours later he finished!
It was tedious but turned out amazing!

Before… 13 bajillion pieces.

During…

AFTER -- *tah-dah*!
Isn’t it too cute?

Obviously a decent sized PINK kitchen wouldn’t go unnoticed in the middle of the living room (we are moving it upstairs eventually) so Miss Birthday Party got to get a present first thing this morning.


She loved it – especially the phone – ha!
Such MY child…

The rest of the morning was spent getting ready for the party and doing errands like picking up THE CAKE!

Other than a little (I use that term lightly) glitch with the awning our friends so graciously let us borrow… everything else preparation wise went smoothly.
So I used the down time before guests arrived to shoot some family photos.
The beautiful BIRTHDAY GIRL!
Can you believe she refused to wear her Cinderella dress? I think she somehow knew it just wasn't weather appropriate?

Daddy and his girl!

Hunter, Skylar, and Peyton...
Gee... do my sons look forced to do this picture or what?!?! Now ya see why they are in my blog so infrequently and when they are it is usually against their will or after bribery!
EEEESH -- I don't know why the fellas are generally so anti-photo?!?!

My gorgeous daughter and I...
♥♥♥♥


And a teeny pic preview of the decorations.
Yes -- not even some cruddy weather kept us indoors!


I cannot wait to post the rest of the pictures!
For the rest of my life when I think back on this day I will always think of my daughter skipping around the yard saying over and over...
*I love my party!*

That my friends is what it is truly all about!

BIG SMILE!

Oh yes... I am going to have a GiVeAwAy this week -- my very first -- in honor of Miss Skylar's (who is such a MAJOR part of my blog) 2nd Birthday! Her actual birthday is this Tuesday June 14th... so STAY TUNED!!!
*giddy jumping up and down claps*

SaTurDay: In Photos

Our day began simple enough – tubby-time and some PopTarts.
Please don’t call Child Protective Services on us because Skylar eats from a Frisbee – I told you we do ANYTHING in the name of her eating!


Then Skylar had a *photo shoot* at my work. My boss Amy took the photos – because Skylar would have paid no attention to me!
Here is a little taste…


This is her dress for her Cinderella Birthday Bash!


Aren’t they too stinkin’ cute?!?!
I L♥♥♥♥♥VE them!!!

The weather today has been ICKY!!!
Rain – which I am truly hoping will surpass us tomorrow as it is Skylar’s birthday party. We could move indoors but outside would be SO much nicer!
(I even did some weather magick this evening in hopes of keeping the rain at bay…)
But look how LUSH this weather has made the yard look.

I could just eat the colors!

Finally…
Some Skylar & Daddy time!




I think these are my new favorite pictures of them.
Skylar looks so happy and just adorable!

Brian is in the midst of putting together a SUPER CUTE retro pink kitchen we bought for Skylar for her birthday.
I am not *allowed* to help in fear that one of us may not make it out alive. Yeah… we don’t do well with instructions and tools in the company of one another!
*heh*
But even a little over half-way done and it is worth-every-penny-SUPER -CUTE!

Well...
I am off to do the bajillion and one things that need to be done before Skylar’s Cinderella Birthday Bash!
HaPPy SaTurDay!
