Bekah's Birthday Party & others too!

We had a 2 day celebration for this little princess! She got spoiled rotten, and she loved every minute of it! She woke up of course to her room being decorated, then feasted on awfuls (waffles), with chocolate chips for breakfast. She got to watch videos until her dad got home, which was a real treat since I usually only let her watch one a day if at all. She drank lots of chocolate milk and snacked on all her favorites all curled up on the couch-her idea of a great day! Then we went to my moms house for Bekah's party/ surprise going away party for Trae, (Tab's husband who is leaving on Thursday for Navy Boot Camp). We ate yummy southern food, (Trae is from the South), opened gifts, and ate Blues Clues Cake. Our friend Bill wrote the (somewhat unofficial) guide to surviving boot camp, (above) which was very funny.
On Saturday we had a Blues Clues Party for Bekah at my moms house for her and her friends. It was really fun even though just 2 of her little friends came-Hayden, (Bill & Diana's grand daughter, and a cute little spunky 2 year old from our ward Jordan. My moms house is about 20 minutes from where we live, so I didn't expect a lot of people to show up, still it was a lot of fun, more quiet than I expected, but fun nonetheless! We played 'Pin the clue on Blue', swung a stick at a Piniata, (which was more like tapping gently the piniata!), made our own 'Handy Dandy Notebooks', ate cupcakes with 'clues' on them, and watched an episode of Blues Clues of course! We then went over to the Carters to celebrate Vera's 40th birthday- it's been a bit nuts on the birthday front here! Topher thinks this has been great- all the kids, balloons, cake, toys and fun! Today is Chad's birthday, then we get a breather for at least a couple of weeks!
