Kendall's Birthday

I think I posted the photos backwards again.

Aunt Kari made Kendall a fun, huge cupcake. He loved the frosting.

Kari also found this awesome cardboard cut out ...sweet deal, only 69 cents.

Curtis provided the candy table and I made fun tags at work.

Grandma is always good to join the fun.

Kendall was really good to open his gifts. He did get a little help.

I usually make the kids cakes but I have an amazing neighbor who put this all together for us. so cute! I know she spent so much time putting it all together. What a cool idea to have the cupcakes on the gear. I love it! She made the cupcake gears with fondant.

So cute and crafty! Claire made the cute table cloth. We found the material last night and Claire showed off her sewing skills.

So you may have noticed this robot is a little different from the one above....we broke the stem on the first one with in 5 minutes of when it arrived. Lucky for us we live next to the amazing cake decorator so I ran it back to her and she made us a new one. you would never guess that Curtis smashed one of the eyes when he saved it from falling to the floor.

It was a really fun day.

Happy Birthday Kendall!

Preschool

Max had his first day of Preschool yesterday.

Train Party

Well, I posted the photos backwards again.

Max had a Train birthday Party on Saturday. We had planned to serve PBJ sandwiches, chips and bug juice for the kiddo's and adults.

I made about 50 sandwiches and surprisingly, no one really ate them or the chips. The bug juice was a big hit though.

We had rented a train for the party. There was a little mistake on timing but the train did arrive. If you are looking for a train - I know a great conductor.

Max loved being on the train and he would only get off to change seats. He went on every train ride. The conductor even let him drive once.

As you can see, he was thrilled.

Happy Birthday Max! We love you

Closing a chapter

Max had his last day with Kids Who Count. We are excited for him to move on to preschool and to ride the bus... However, Kids Who Count will always be a wonderful memory for us. I will miss the wonderful women who helped me and Max for the last year and a half. I will also miss the other mothers who have been a support to me. Max is going to miss his little friend Andriell. I hope she'll come visit.

Max starts preschool on Monday.

The Roast

We had a blast at Curtis's Roast. Only 7 of the 22 showed up but it was they had the best stories. Jennifer even arrived with photographic evidence.

The party was held in the "private room" at GoodWood. The stories started early and lasted a few hours. We had the game on but after the first minute we could tell the game was not going to be a distraction.

A Big thank you to those who made it, your stories were hilarious.
