Halloween Party

The girls and I went to a little Halloween party last Thursday afternoon. Anna Riley's costume had not came in the mail yet but she was excited to be a cowgirl! She had spotted a pink sparkly cowboy hat at Target while we were in there Thursday morning and since she already had the pink boots it was an outfit!   She is so funny at this stage because she is SO into what she wears!

 

She was on a mission!

 

Ava Kate was a little cupcake...and a cute one at that! :) 

At the party, we decorated pumpkins, played games and we got to eat Chick-fil-A and LOTS of good treats!

Anna Riley even got to load up her treat back and told her to keep filling it up because she needed more! Oh my!

John-Ross (the Host of the party) was the
cutest kiss...I didn't get a picture with his
hat on!

 

We even met some new friends!

Pop Pop swung by since he was out and about...
he didn't want to miss seeing the girls dressed
up!



Weekend part 2- Ainslee's birthday party

I left Atlanta early Sunday morning so I would get home in time for my neice, Ainslee's birthday party at the Barnyard.  Anna Riley was so excited because she loves going to the Barnyard!  Ainslee's party was a "pinkalious" party because she loves those books and it was really cute.  Anna Riley insited on wearing her pink cowboy hat/shoes to the party but she really fit the theme anyways.  At this age, if I have learned anything it is pick my battles!

 

Ainslee looked precious! I can't believe she
is already 4!

The weekend...

This past weekend I went to Atlanta to help host one of my best friends baby showers! Cyndee and I met in college and have been best friends since.  I am so excited for her next chapter and I can't wait to meet sweet little Annabelle! :)

 

We had a brunch on Saturday morning! All of the food was
SO good!!

My first attempt at a diaper cake

 

I stayed at Cyndee and Dan's house while in town.  They decided to have people over to watch the Bama/Tenn. game so Cyndee and I went to the store that afternoon and got our ingredients to make some of our pinterest favorites!  Her parents were also in town and Mr. Danny makes the best BBQ so we had our version of BBQ nachos! YUM!

 

It missed Riley and the girls but it was nice to catch up with my friends too! Becca and Zach got to come watch the game, too! :) 

Anna Riley stayed with my parents all weekend and Riley had Ava Kate.  Since Ava Kate hasn't been doing well sleeping at their house right now we just thought she would do better at home.  Riley had too much work to do that weekend so he and the girls couldn't go with me. 

Mom and Dad took Anna Riley to the Fair on Saturday and
she had a blast!

My cousin's little girl Hailey went also.

CAKE!

 

To say this child loved her cake was an understatement!!  She was ready!  The funny thing is with Anna Riley, she had really had a lot of cake and sweets before her birthday and she hated her cake...wouldn't touch it.  Ava Kate has had sweets but honestly she hasn't really had that much but she would have ate the whole cake if we would have let her!  She also liked having the big audience watching her...she was putting on a show! :)

This was the end result!! The more she rubbed the worse it
got!  Granna and PawPaw gave her a bath and she was
good to go!

AKs Birthday party--part 2

 

This was when she first woke up and
came outside to her party! :)

Love this look!

The ball pit was definitely her favorite thing!

My Aunt Lois came and did face painting

The best we could get and AR was having too much fun for
a picture with us!

Sweet Addie Gail is always so great with both girls!

Cute little Talon...it was his 2nd party of the day

This was quite entertaining! She did
manage to get a small pumpkin looking
object on her face! Ha!

Even the adults had a little fun!

 

I think AR thought it was her birthday!
