Katelyn in Wonderland.........Planning her perfect party

I have to say I am super excited!

Why you ask?

Because Katelyn, my middle daughter, just informed me that she wants an Alice in Wonderland Birthday Party!
Of course, as soon as she told me this, my mind started racing..........................You see party planning is one of my passions. Yes I know her birthday is not until August, but we can't be late for her important date! I have to make sure everything is over the top and perfect! I can't wait to decorate! I have found some of the cutest scrapbooking paper to make banners and other decorations. She has also requested to have a tea party at our house, so off to Goodwill I will go to find old teacups and tea pots. Oh how much fun we will have........................

Love the vintage feel of this table setting!

Definately, gonna have to make this!

Love this Cake!

Love this Party!

Happy Birthday Olivia!

This past weekend was so wonderful! I had a minor procedure on Friday, so I wasn't up to doing much, but we had the pleasure of celebrating our cousin Olivia's 6th Birthday! Katelyn and Olivia get along so well! We started off at Nail star and we all got Pedicures! (one of the best pleasures in life!) They just got little girl chairs put in............... They look so stinking cute! My grandmother, Meme, joined us as well! After getting our nails done we headed to Magic Time Machine in Addison! The kids had a blast! It was my girls first time to go and they loved it. All the eclectic rooms with the different themes were so much fun looking at.

Katelyn drinking her magic potion drink (it was bubbling & had smoke coming out of it)

Ashleigh with her magic potion drink

Captain Jack Sparrow and the kids. (of course I had to have my pic taken with him too!)

The rest of the weekend we chilled! I was so exhausted from just the little bit we did on Saturday. Now back to recovering and back to work tomorrow. Ya'll have a great week!

My Birthday Party

Tomorrow is my actual birthday, but last Friday night my wonderful hubby threw me the best birthday party ever! Of course, it was Twilight themed...........I mean what other theme would best suit me? God love him for putting up with my crazy Twilight obsession! He had the most beautiful cake made for me! I ordered wine from Vampire Vinyards in California and it was yummo! This is one of the best birthday parties ever! Thank you to all my friends and family that made it! I also learned a lesson, don't bust your butt to make other peoples parties, because in return they don't do the same for you and could care less how that makes you feel....... You know who you are!

Here are a few of the pictures............Enjoy!

Two of my favorite men.......(Edward was watching over my presents)

My oldest daughter, Ashleigh, turned 10 on March 3! I know, I know it is May now...........She requested to have a Twilight/New Moon themed bday party...........

We, well I mean, I had a blast

decorating and planning the party for weeks in advance!

Brian wanted to know when the cast would be arriving to help celebrate? He is such a smartie pants! Here are a couple of the pics from the party........I have many more pics, since it was a slumber party and the darling little girls that stayed up until 3 am were so charming, but I decided not to post their pics since I am not sure how their parents feel about them being public................ Alot of the ideas came from The Hostess With The Mostess Blog......She has some amazing ideas for a ton of bday parties and showers...........

ENJOY!

Twilight Bingo! The kids loved it! all the prized were Twilight themed...

a dreamcatcher: what Jacob gives Bella for her birthday

a rubiks cube: because Bella & Edwards relationship is complicated

a little journal book that says love: Bella and Edward are in love

and many more cute ones......................

This was so far the best party I have ever done! I am trying to talk Katelyn, my middle daughter, into to having an Alice in Wonderland party..........Oh the ideas the are zooming around in my head...........................Until next time!
