T T Q & S: 2 Birthday Parties for a 1 Year Old!

Quinn was one lucky lady this year celebrating her birthday TWICE! We were able to celebrate on her actually birthday (July 1st) with just our close family and then again on August 1st when my sister was in town with a bunch of friends! I had so much fun planning and decorating for the parties. Not sure I'll do 2 every year, but as I told Tony - it was her golden this year!! Quinn was so spoiled with great gifts and lots and lots of attention. I don't have all the pictures I want as they are still on my stateside phone. I hope to remember to post more pictures when I get those back - which hopefully I can!!

July 1st party:
My cousin Kelsey helped tye dye a shirt for Quinn and we put a "1" sticker on it. It turned out pretty cute! She thought she was pretty big stuff being a new walker and all on her birthday. She even (demanded) got to sit at the "big kids" table. We had a lot of fun opening presents and listening to toddler jams on the radio :) It was a cold night to be outside believe it or not!

August 1st party:

What a fun, fun day. Everything went smoothly leading up to the party and the kids had a pretty good time! I surprised all the kids with pony rides in the backyard. Some were scared (Quinn being one) and others loved it! My little nephew Grady was the first in line and I think rode about 4-5 times :) He was so darn cute on them. There were about 20 kids there which kept everyone on their toes!

Ivy and Grandpa Rog. Look at that sweet smile :)

Grandpa Rog helped with all the rides. He was great and the kids did awesome!

Amanda

I was wondering where this little frosting monster went - and I spotted her under the table rubbing all the frosting from the leftover cupcakes over her dress! I don't even think she ate any of the frosting :)
