Mother's Day and Mom's Birthday

 

 

Happy Mother's Day... five months later!

 

Gramma J wasn't able to make it to the Mother's Day cookout, so we met up with her the day before to have a little pizza and give her a gift. She loved her photo book of the girls (a yearly Mother's Day tradition!)

 

 

For Mother's Day this year, I got all of the great-grandkids together and took their pictures for Gramma Pat!

 

These are the pictures we ended up with!

 

Raegan, Jaden, Maddie, & Taylor

 

Gramma Pat LOVED her pictures!

 

We spent the day playing in Garrett at Cindy's house.

 

The girls were EXHAUSTED!

 

It was a wonderful day! Mike and the girls spoiled me with some wonderful gifts, too.

 

The day after Mother's Day was mom's birthday so we all went to Bandido's. Jaden got to show off her Young Author's book :-)  It's adorable, by the way.

 

For some reason, the service was extremely slow that day so I took the girls out to the lobby to waste a couple of quarters in the candy machines.

 

J got a mustache...

 

Taylor got candy...

 

After dinner, we went to DeBrand for a birthday dessert!

 

It was a wonderful weekend of celebrations!

Jaden's 6th Birthday - The Final Installment

This is pathetic, people! Almost 6 months later and I am FINALLY wrapping up J's birthday celebration! Well, get used to it because this month, I am getting all caught up! We had LOTS going on over the summer. By the time November rolls around, I'm hoping to be up to date... hoping.

If you can remember back to parts 1, 2, and 3 of J's birthday, you already know that she had a Brave party theme. I LOVE birthday parties! I especially love birthday party FOOD :-)  It's kind of become my thing to have the food of the party based on the theme.  If you've seen the movie Brave, you will "get it" when you see our tasty treats :-)

Everyone enjoyed the food!

Jaden was spoiled by family with so many great presents! I mean, look at that stack on the fireplace! Here are a few...

She LOVED all of her gifts :-)

I think Uncle Shane-O was wanting this awesome party to be his own :-)

It was a WONDERFUL party... and now it's finally over :-)  

Happy birthday, Miss J! We love you!!
