The Difference Between Girls and Boys

We were invited to our neighbors 1st birthday party this past weekend. I knew when we received the invitation, pictured above, it was going to be special. The front of the invitation had this beautiful picture attached. Inside it was stamped with her initials, inviting all princesses and princes to the party.

The little girls got fairy wings and wands. The boys (only Connor and Colton) got swords and chest plates....so cute

The theme continued through the kitchen

Amelie was dressed the part and even managed to keep her gorgeous dress clean through her cake.

The mantel was just a beautiful as the rest of the house.

I told Mark we would never be able to invite them to another party. I am gonna have to work on my party throwing skills-HA! Kind of puts our Spider Man and Lightening McQueen themes to shame. Maybe it's a good thing I have boys!

It was a fun afternoon. Sometimes it is nice to be around pink! I will post more play pictures from this party and the one we to on Saturday in my next post.

Saturday was the annual St. Patrick's Day parade and festivities. We always have brunch at Linda's house, watch the parade, and then spend the day out and about. The brunch we still had (and it was quite yummy Linda)but we opted to skip the parade since it was so cold outside. We hung out in lower Greenville for a while. I had to head home to relieve the babysitter around 3pm. It was a great green day and always one of my favorite celebrations. I was looking for St Patty's pictures from the past several years but they were not on my computer like I thought. I will add that to my project list so I can share some old pictures.

Party time

Saturday night we had a few friends over to play dominoes. Thanks to everyone who came...it was fun. And I still can't believe Linda won the game. She NEVER wins, all though I did find a domino under the kitchen table Sunday morning so......?!?!
