WhirlWIND weekend!

Last weekend was a BIG weekend for us! Thursday Molly got to celebrate her Birthday with her preschool class and she was very excited to share treats with them. Friday was M's actual Birthday and she had the day planned just so. First was doughnuts for breakfast with Mommy and Daddy. Next was Target to pick out a special b-day swim suit to wear to swim school. She chose a "lovely" Ariel one! M chose Mermaid Cafe at Neimans for Lunch where she got her signature chocolate milk, grilled cheese and French fries... with a red velvet cupcake:) That evening, Kyle's Grandparents got into town, so after we all met for dinner, Molly got to stay the night at Mimi and Poppy's to spend some extra time with them. It worked out great for us, because Kyle and I got to go to Adairs that night and Kyle made his stage debut! His buddy is in a great country band call the Rusty Brothers and they invited Kyle to play with them for part of the evening. It was VERY exciting and so fun to see my guy up there. he did a greta job and had a ton of fun! The next morning was spent getting ready for Molly's party. She has been asking for an ALice In Wonderland party, so that is what we did! We had a seamstress make her an AMAZING Alice dress and I worked super hard on a bunch of fun decorations for weeks. We found a great park right on the lake to have it. Well.... it was the WINDIEST day I have ever experienced. EVER. Even in Kansas. It was pretty miserable. ALL of the decorations either blew away into the lake or we didn't even take out. Some of the food blew away. Even the decorated cupcakes blew off the table and landed in a heap:( I admit I did cry a few tears and then got over it. We had a dozen back-up cupcakes in the car that we ended up cutting in half to give the kids. We had just enough. The kids didn't miss the decorations a bit:) It was the type of wind that you couldn't even carry on a conversation in- it was crazy!!!! I think I am DONE with outdoor parties for a while! But- when all was said and done- Molly had FUN and got to celebrate with her family and friends and that is all that really matters!

It was so windy and crazy, I didn't really get any good party shots. I was too focused on not blowing away!
