Cora's 2nd Birthday Party

We've had a GREAT weekend.  It started by having Ryan home Friday night...  he was gone last week, and I'm not going to lie - it was a LONG week.  Long days at work... long nights at home...  tired kids... tired Momma.  I was happy to have him home. 

Saturday morning more cleaning was done, and some prepping for our weekend.  Blair, Martina, Tate and Landry were coming!!!  They arrived late morning... and the playing and fun began!  We had lunch, we played, we laughed, we talked...  did errands, etc.  Ashley came and hung out with us too for a bit.  It was a great afternoon.  Saturday night we ordered pizza in...  and got the kids to bed at a fairly decent time!  The adults were wiped out too!  But it was such a nice day with those guys... I'm so glad they came a full day early and spent it with us.  Next time we make the trip to them!

Today was the big Princess Birthday party!!!  I had insomnia last night, so I didn't get much sleep - I'm not sure what was going on, but my mind raced and I just couldn't relax.  I think I got about 3 full hours.  :(  Anyway, the birthday girl was ready...  everyone was ready, until EVERYONE showed up!  Then Cora decided she was a little overwhelmed and wanted to only be next to me.  BOO.  It did get better, but not quickly!  ha.  Oh well... she is only 2!!  Completely common.  

Our immediate families were here with us, and it was great.  The house was full and hot, but I think everyone had a good time.  Kayson, Tate and Little Ryan played hard... Tate loved Ryan, so that was fun.  I just think it's so nice that there is such great conversation when both our families are together - pretty awesome.  

Cora got some great gifts...  lots of Princess stuff - Sofia the First dress and shoes, fall jammies, puzzles, Dream Lite Ladybug (which she loved tonight at bedtime!), Fairies, stickers and Princess bandaids (which was a hit)!  ha.  Plus more.  We had some yummy food from Smokey D's, and tasty cuppie-cakes.  It was a success!

Enjoy the pictures!!
