Party Time! The Guests...

Our party was actually quite small...but that's OK...we had a great time anyway!  It's not about quantity, it's about quality - right?  The weather was absolutely perfect that evening.  It wasn't near as humid as usual so we were able to actually enjoy being outside without sweat pouring down us the moment we walked out the door.  A gentle cool breeze, the sounds of good conversation and kids laughing, and the smell of great food made the evening perfect.  Other than our families, only two other couples were able to attend.  They're great friends of ours and we felt pretty lucky to have them.

Meet Crystal & Warner.
Awesome people.  Because of some experiences in our lives, I feel as close to them as if I we've all been great friends forever.  We're really glad they live close to us now and have enjoyed spending time with them.

Meet Shelly & Nathan
They're really super-cool too!  Nathan is my "help, I locked myself out of the house" guy.  He's my "help, I can't start my car" guy.  And my "HELP!!  MY COMPUTER IS CRASHING I'M LOSING ALL MY PICTURES" guy.  He's a pretty handy dude to know.  (I should mention these are times when David is at work and can't help out his Damsel-In-Distress...he's not being a slacker husband!)  Shelly is was my Zumba friend, my "let's go to lunch" friend, my "we have no electricity at our house and it's only 115* or -15* can we come over" friend, my friend that I like just because I enjoy being with her.

Now...for the faces you really want to see...

Trace...aka T-Bird

Trevin...aka Tracks

Jacob - aka juuuune-year

Lia - aka Lilly-yon

(all nick names are compliments of my brother...and he's pretty much the only one that uses them)
He's not normal - Mom dropped him on his head when he was a baby - that's my theory.

Dear Party Girl,
You are very right, it QUALITY that counts and it looks like you had quite the hum-dinger! Just the eyelashes on your two snuggle-bunnies are worth celebrating!

Love,
Your Friend in NE

All cuties, these nephies and neice of mine.
BRW, is it difficult to apply fake eyelashes on a 2 yr old?

Susan - it's not hard at all. She really loves the glue! ;)

The comment at the end about your brother cracked me up! I have one like that, too... in fact, they may both be like that... ;)

Picture collages are so fun! Love the family shots, and the shots of the everyone else, too! I don't blame Lia one bit for sticking her finger in that cake. I think I would've, too. Maybe that's why you didn't invite me. That, and the fact that I live 3 days away! :-)
