Party in my PJs!

My girl turned 5!! 

 She decided on a Purple Pajama Party!

 You can't have a pajama party without donuts!!

We had sausage, of course.  Sadie's favorite.

Mini quiches

And fruit and purple ice cream, which I seem to have lost the pics.

 The party favors were mini cereals.

Then it was time for games!!  It ended up being a very chilly day, but the kids stayed nice and warm with our relay races.  They started off with a pillow case hop...

Then a pancake toss...

 Then they had to pick up all their toys...

 and race down the slide.  Because what relay wouldn't be great without a race down the slide!!

and finally, they made their bed!

We had a great time!!

My girl makes me happy every day.

Over the next week Sadie received some cards and her expressions are always priceless!  She was this excited over getting some stickers!

And cash!!

Hahahahaha!!  She is a nut!  I love her.

Sadie's a growing girl!!
Height 4'3"  -  84%
Weight  44lbs  - 78%

My sweetheart

 This year I got a very special treat for my birthday.  The Mother/Son Banquet was the night of my birthday.  Elijah was SO excited to take me out on a date for my birthday.

He was ready over an hour early.  So precious.

He was a perfect gentleman!  It was a Luau theme.  We had burgers and ice cream sundaes.  We were entertained by the senior boys. It was one of the coldest days of the year and the building didn't have heat!  We were freezing!  But we had a great night together sitting with Koby and Kristi Fajardo.

This boy stole my heart!

Super Sweet Valentine's Day

I love Valentine's Day!  

I was Room Mom this year for Elijah's 1st Grade Class.  I tried to think of something special for his class party.  Someone gave me the idea of the chocolate fountain!  I just happened to have one!  the kids loved it!!

Elijah's sweet friend, Koby, enjoying some chocolate!

I think it was a hit! Score one for Mom!!

Later that day came our traditional Valentine's Day Red Velvet heart cake!!  I made Beau a red velvet cake (a fave of his) on our first Valentine's Day.  And because I love tradition I have kept doing it!  So here is our 11th Annual cake!

My little "maker" (as she calls herself)!

I think I know why she likes to help me so much!!

Time for frosting and sprinkles!!

Ha!!

Yummo!

Love my brown-eyed boy!

This Sugar-baby loved his cake!!

The weekend after Beau and I were able to go to our Valentine's Banquet.  We had a great time having dinner and playing games with our friends!  Aren't we cute!?!
