Happy 2 Birthday Molly!

Today we had the pleasure of attending sweet Molly's second birthday party. All of the kids had a fun afternoon filled with sweets and bouncing. It was such a fun little party! Vivi enjoyed bouncing in the bounce house with all of her friends. It is definitely a balance exercise! There was also cupcake decorating, which was fun seeing the kids different personalities and ages. Baily and Lizzie were making sweet little masterpieces while Vivi, Molly, Henry, and Charlotte were more into the frosting and mixing of toppings. Vivi ate all of the frosting off her cupcake before even considering putting some decorations on it. We had a wonderful afternoon and were so happy to celebrate sweet Molly!

Vivi's Turns Two

Today we celebrated Vivi's second birthday with our family and friends.  I can't believe that she is already two.  It seems like just yesterday we were living in Fort Worth and on our way to the hospital to meet this precious girl.  She has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives and we are so incredibly thankful that God blessed us with such an amazing gift.  We have so much fun seeing her grow and develop into a little person.  She is fascinated by animals, and has a recent obsession with turtles and frogs.  I had seen this Lilly Pulitzer inspired turtle party earlier this year and when the brainstorming started I could not get this party out of my head.  With the help of Pinterest and other party blogs I became the ultimate party planner, and had a blast doing it!

The party could not have gone any smoother.  The kids had a great time playing with each other, in the playroom or outside, working up an appetite. We all enjoyed light lunch topped off with mini vanilla cupcakes done by the talented Lindsey Levine of Batter Up Pastry Boutique in Fort Worth.  All of the sweets were delicious, and so incredibly cute!  The kids birthdays are always a highlight of my year.  I loved celebrating our sweet little girl and decorating for the bash too!

Here are a few pictures from the party.  Enjoy!

Edwards-Graham Wedding

This weekend we traveled down highway 281 to the quaint town of Wimberley, TX for the wedding of one of my college girlfriends, Clare.  Both kids joined us, as did Mary Martha and James.  This was my first official trip to Texas Hill Country, and I loved it!  It was a fun weekend spent outside in the beautiful hill country.  We rented a house close to town which was perfect with both of the kids in tow.  They slept well, and the house was fully stocked with toys!  On Saturday we ventured into town for a walk along the creek among the Cypress trees, followed by lunch and live music on the patio, and a little dip in a local spring.  

Clare and Brian were married in a rustically elegant ceremony at the Old Glory Ranch, that perfectly reflected Clare.  The food was delicious and the dancing was OOC.  Many of my closest college friends were there, and we always have a blast when reunited.  Blaine was our official photographer for the evening, our paparazzi, if you will, and captured some truly classic moments.  Congratulations and thank you for letting us celebrate with you!
