Elmo Birthday Party

We celebrated Madison Claire's birthday this weekend with her little friend Grayson. They are one week apart from each other and they both love Elmo & share the same little friend group from church, so Mandy and I decided to partner up and have a small Elmo Party at Granny White Park on Saturday. We went back and forth leading up to Saturday because the weather was supposed to be nice and sunny but on the cold side in the morning. We finally made a last minute decision on Friday to keep it at the park and we were so glad that we did! It was a little windy & chilly, but the kids had such a great time playing! Special thanks to everyone who helped make the day special for Madison Claire & Grayson! Once again...I know there are about one thousand pictures below, but I clearly have issues with picking my favorites, so enjoy!


Madison Claire & Grayson

Elmo Cakes - how perfect!!
The cake bakers - Nanny Annie & Kathryn (or as MC calls "Tat")



Having fun with G-mama


MC loves "Nutmeg"...here she is walking her

LOVES the swing - she did this for at least 30 minutes, saying WEEEEE


Sweet baby Marlee
Baby Jacob - seriously, I think he is the cutest thing I've ever seen!
Peek-a-boo
No birthday party would be complete without a Sonic drink!
Going on a ride with Papa Gary
Hugs for Keatyn Marie
Jenny, Eddie & Marlee

Getting ready for cake


She loves some cake!

Love this series - reminds me of the "jumping" picture from our wedding :)


Mandy, me & Audra (okay - seriously, my stomach looks HUGE!!!)
Sweet Sara
Keatyn Marie LOVED Nutmeg

Ryan has been sick the last few days so he was a trooper at the party!
Madison Claire LOVED spending time with Annie & Zack

Blowing bubbles was her second favorite activity - with Zack holding the bubble bottle


I swear that Madison Claire drank at least several tablespoons of the bubbles - I was somewhat seriously considering calling Poison control! She had the want right up to her lips!








Sweet Grayson - he LOVES his "Ma Ma" (pronounced Mah, Mah...not momma"

The Howard clan...we missed Patrick & Ben

Chillin at home that night...she had such a fun day!
