Of Course We Had a Party!

And now that I finally have a moment to sit down and post, I can put up all of the pictures from our party!  

Of course it was a combined party for my two favorite birthday people.

 

Of course we wanted to invite all sorts of family, so we opted to have it at Taylor's parent's house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course I put Taylor in charge of the meat (despite the fact that it was HIS birthday party),

and I, of course, tried to take on the rest. 
(minus the delicious baked beans and pasta salad)

 

(not pictured:  smoked pork sandwiches, baked beans, pasta salad, fruit with dip, chips, drinks, cupcakes, and twix cake...HEAVEN!)

Of course I wanted party decorations, 

and of course I forgot that I already own a lifetime supply of candles and crepe paper, so ended up buying even more. 
(Next year, please remind me of this fact)

 

 

Of course Hazel specifically requested balloons,

and of course trying to fit 20 balloons into my little car resulted in quite a few casualties and possible loss of hearing in my right ear; 

 but, anything for the birthday girl... of course.

A big, GIANT, thank you to everyone who came to our party.  

I can't even begin to tell our family how much I appreciate all of your love and support, 

and OF COURSE, all of the great presents

  

 

  

 

And an even bigger thank you to Lynette for letting us party at your house 

AND for taking me and Hazel out for a pre-party, party.

Coin-operated rides, soft play, train rides, 

and of course, 

lunch at Hazel's favorite spot,
