Anyway, Friday night Ryan got home... he mowed quickly, and the kids and I went to their photo session. Eh. It was ok. I'm glad the gal did them together first... so I'm hoping we get at least one good one of those... then Cora along was kind of a pain. However, it doesn't surprise me... so, we'll just see what we get!! It'll be a long 2 weeks waiting! :)
Saturday morning we got up and started finishing cleaning and just organizing for the party. I swear those 3 hours or so went so fast and soon there were a load of people at the house! Cora did really well (last year, it took her forever to warm up and she was shy)... not this year, which was great! Anyway, all our immediate family was with her/us, minus Hope, Ash and Uncle Jeff. Hope is at college and both Ash and Jeff needed to work. We just let the kiddos play... and the adults visited (it was a beautiful August day!!!!), then Cora tore into her presents. She knew what to do! ha. She got some great gifts, including a bike! She hopped on that thing and just rode... she loves it!
We had a nice lunch - I made fixin's for tacos - shredded chicken and beef... and the sides. I think it went over well!
Then everyone started dwindling out around 1:30/2:00. Cora did take a rest, which I'm glad she did. She was tired. Landry took a rest too. The boys just played and played. Saturday afternoon we just hung out... then grabbed food out Saturday night, and got the kids to bed. I was wiped out... and still am. :)
It was a great little party for Cora May. She's a spoiled little girl, and she knows it. :) It's hard to believe she's 3... just crazy fast! We'll see how much she grows and changes over the next year.
