(WARNING: this post is photo HEAVY!)
...waiting for everyone one to hurry up and get to my party!!!
Maga & Paga are here...
Aunt April & Cameron are here, and Aunt Auttie too...
Nonnie & Papa & Jen are here...
Taylor & Uncle Jesse & Aunt Amber are here....
Let's PARTY!!!
Family came for the first part of the party...
We had pizza & yummy salads....
"Just what I always wanted!!!"
Taylor was pretty sure this was her party. It was a little tough to convince her otherwise! :)
Around 2:30 a few friends from church &
KYAH (and her mom!) arrived for the yummy part of the celebration!
ICE CREAM sundae time!
The "theme" of Natalee's party was cho-co-latte (Spanish for chocolate)
and we asked everyone to bring a chocolate topping for the sundaes.
The little ones enjoyed ice cream cones!
This made me VERY nervous...
if you could see the video you'd know why.
Those flames came very close to my chula's little face!
Who is this sweet little girl?
What is she doing?...

Thank you Jesse & Amber!

Look at this cutie! What a doll!
And the Brock/Rice/Barton Family Picture
And the Barton/Smith family picture....
(for those of you who are confused... the Barton/Smiths don't seem to take many family photos... the last one was at my wedding! (: so I found a photo to substitute for the occasion. After all... Natalee will enjoy looking back on the occasion and remembering everyone who came to her party!)
The kiddos had fun playing bubbles...
doing sidewalk chalk...
and eating ice cream.
Everyone was tuckered out at the end...
As a side note: Natalee has been potty trained (using that word loosely)
for about 5 days (she's been in panties at least!)
At her party she was so overwhelmed and excited she didn't really want to take time to go potty. I finally gave up and decided, why fight that battle, so I slipped a pull-up over her chonies.
At the end of the day (a 4 hour event), she had only one tiny accident! Woo hoo! This mom is so happy to be done with diapers!
And here's the sweet, tired little girl at the end of her BIG day...
