The party

Better late than never...here's a rundown of Zach and Ben's birthday party from April. We lucked up with great weather, and were so happy to see all those that were able to make it! I know as the boys get older their tastes will begin to differ, so for now I'm grateful that they can still agree on some things, and an Angry Birds theme is what they wanted, so that's what they got!

Making decorations for their party was easy (albeit a bit time consuming) and lots of fun. 

I was in a pretty foul mood when I started making the decorations for their cake, but it was impossible for me to stay grouchy after I got underway. I had so much fun making the birds and piggies. 

This was the boys' first party with guests and presents, so they had no etiquette when it came to the gifts. They were ripping into some of them before it was present time. My bad for not prepping them for that! 

The Angry Birds' 'missing eggs' tied in perfectly to it being Easter weekend.  I'm not a big fan of egg hunts (to competitive for my liking) so I tried to come up with a way to make it fun and fair, but ultimately ended up just telling each of the kids to find 10 eggs and then stop. They did and it was the most pleasant egg hunt I've witnessed!

 

 

Thanks to all the beautiful faces pictured here (and those that are not) for coming and spending time to celebrate with us!

Six years...what!? Time flew. 

 Oh, and thanks to Carrie and Bobby's sweet camera (used to take all these shots) I'm now disgusted with my own to the point where I find myself cursing under my breath whenever I use it now.
