This is the front...
And this is the inside...
We had a slight change of plans due to a death in the family. Yesterday would have been Papa's 82nd Birthday! Happy Birthday Papa!! And with all of the family Jan. birthdays ( 5 to be exact) we pushed it to the last weekend in Jan. We were on the coast at Papa's visitation on Brody's actual birthday, but his M.E. had him and he had cupcakes and they sang happy birthday to him. We got home later that evening and let him open his present from us at my parents house. This picture was taken the next morning with his birthday breakfast...ha a cinnamon roll with 2 candles!
The Friday before his party, he had a party at school. His teacher Whitney is AMAZING!!! She loves these babies so much! And you imagine her job...all day long with 9 one to two year olds...BY HERSELF!!!I made the cupcakes myself..heehee don't laugh. But the kids really did think they were elmo so I guess I got the job done...despite missing the oreo mouths. ooops!!
Whitney and Brody...he loves his itt eee
Thank goodness Aunt LaLa was there to help clean up!
Then it was Party Day!!! He just kept walking by the Elmo sign yelling Elmo!!!Breakfast of champs...eggs, toast, banana his fave!!
I hate that I didn't get many pictures of the party or decorations. I really hate it!!! Everything looked so cute!! Lauren did an awesome job with Elmo and was a HUGE help in getting everything ready. So were Ken, Mike, and Olivia!!! Thanks guys!!!
This was the table...we had Elmo juice (crystal light fruit punch), twizzlers, goldfish, M & M's, Elmo cupcakes, mexican cornbread, pizza pinwheels, and chocolate dipped fruit kabobs. And let me tell you...ALL of it was gone by the time the two parties were over...yes two parties...more to come about that later.
And if you look really hard you can see Dorothy and all of her little friends. We gave away real goldfish as the party favors. We also gave out a baggie of goldfish crackers for the parents who weren't too excited over taking a live fish home. = )
Brody's cupcake...
Then it was time to open presents...is it just my kid that is completely NOT interested in this or is it just the age.
Is Emily Kay not the cutest!!! And her momma just found out that she is expecting TWINS!!!! Congrats Molly and Mathew!!
The kiddos played for awhile and guests started leaving. But most were to return a couple of hours later for party #2! Ken's 30th Birthday PArty was supposed to be a suprise but I started realizing that we may not have the proper equipment to cook the hamburgers..aka...gas for the grill or charcoal. So I had to let the cat out of the bag about 30 minutes before everyone was to arrive. He was still surprised!!

I wanted to show yall Brody's playroom. Ken built him this bookshelf for all of his toys! We could give Toys R Us a run for their money.
This is his rocking horse that we gave him for his birthday. He LOVES it!!!
I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who helped make my boys days so special! I know it was alot to ask people to come back for Ken's party..it made for one long day...especially for the kiddos. But he and I appreciated so much!!! We are SO loved!!!!
