Birthday Party

Saturday was Connor's big birthday party and we had a wonderful time. The theme was Dr. Seuss, but not everything went as planned that day.  I had intended to have green deviled eggs, however, I had a major egg issues that morning.  So I asked my mom to pick up deviled eggs from Commissary BBQ, which tasted much better than mine probably would have.  I also made little ham and swiss cheese sandwiches and rotel.

The best part of the food was probably the cake.  I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I looked in the box! (I had a major meltdown at work on Wednesday. All I can say is thank goodness for Ashley, I'm sure there are days she thinks I'm a crazy lady!)

We had a really good turn out for the party, but the best guests were Connor's friends.  The kids that came were Josh (his best friend from school), Mason (Kyle and Anna's son), and Ms. Brinkley.  It also helped that Connor took a 2 hour nap right before the party so he was in a fantastic mood!

Warning, this is going to be a picture overload...

These were the party favors on the front table

There were two cookies in each package

Precious Brinkley, she held her own with all the crazy boys!

Enjoying some cake...Which reminds me, I still haven't had a piece

Poor Garner...she was a good sport, since the party was mainly adults and toddlers.

ALL the presents, I could feel my toy anxiety kicking in!

Connor was really interested in the cards this year, but good thing he had several helpers to keep him focused on the presents!

The biggest hit was the crawl tunnel that Winnie got him

Mason was testing out the cozy coupe

Mason had so much fun in the tunnel

Grandaddy and Connor

Connor is obsessed with the sweatshirt Grandaddy got him.  He loves that it has a "hat" and a pocket.  Connor also loves the fire truck from Ryan.

Once again I didn't get any pictures of Connor with Gigi and Big Daddy, hopefully someone else did.  The party was a blast and Connor really enjoyed himself this year (a complete 180 from last year)!
