Party, Party, Party

Whew this month is a whirlwind of parties for Sofia’s friends!  She has 5 to attend!  Yesterday was the 1st.  It was such a beautiful day outside – perfect for a party.  Princess Lauren turned 6 today and Sofia had a great time celebrating!  Lauren’s mom gave lots of prizes for games and a scavenger hunt!  Also, VERY yummy cupcakes!  Lauren is a triplet (with a brother and sister) so next week we will be back for her sister’s party!  This mom will be exhausted after all these parties this month! 

What about you guys?  Is it busy birthday season in your neck of the woods? I usually spend $15-20 per present. Is that enough?  I also find it a little tough to shop right after Christmas because there really is not a lot of new stuff in the stores.  We shopped at Target and struggled to find something that was just right. 

That’s it for now!  Stay tuned for a post on how a shopping trip made me realize by baby is growing up TOOOOOOO fast!

The Beautiful Birthday Girl!

Those cupcakes are awesome! And YES!! We are SO swamped with birthday for this month and next! I spend $12-$20 per gift, too, but it really depends more on the friend. If she's a special friend, I usually spend more.

Sofia is beautiful! Congrats on her 1-mile run! And what a place to start!! They'd have to pull me away from the table long enough to make that run!! Ha!!
