we celebrated a second birthday for our sweet flower girl. :)
monkey themed of course.
monkeys for the birthday girl and her friends, yummy soup/bread and spiced wine for the adults.
birthday girl's momma also happens to be 8 months preggo with her baby brother. supermom, i tell ya :)
note to self: give every single two year old girl a tea set for her birthday. she wouldn't put those babies down. proof? that was what was in her hot little hand while we were all singing to her. :)
on the other end of the spectrum, we celebrated Jer-Bear's 49th birthday!
mrs. james sure knows how to throw a party. the birthday boy even matched his birthday decorations and it was a SURPRISE party. only a seasoned party-planner can pull off that ;)
i think it's just SO crazy how in barely anytime in the grand scheme of things (47 little years) you can go from running around with a plastic teacup and frosting on your face yelling, "come party" to your two year old friends at your second birthday, to celebrating being almost 50 years old with your friends, your kids and even your grandbabies. (Mowry's, you were missed!!!!)
just another reminder of how quick and fragile our years really are, and in the blink of an eye baby E will be turning 49 and we will all be playing Bingo for Jerry's 96th birthday. (heck, we will be at the lake having a bonfire if Jer has anything to say about it.)
i wish i hand't wished away so many seasons/years/days of my life, wishing for something else to hurry up and come. in my wise old age of 26, i'm realizing just how special each birthday in between is, and each day for that matter. :)
but the celebrations didn't end on saturday... no maam... ;)
