We decided to make all of November a party since Hannah's birthday is the 4th and Owen's is the 20th. We had a total of 4 parties. But it's okay because I love birthday parties!!! Especially first birthdays. I had so much fun making cakes, cupcakes, blowing up balloons and singing 'Happy Birthday' (especially to Hannah who always got a huge smile on her face). Things were a little tricky with Jeff's busy schedule so we decided to hold an extended family party on the 10th to celebrate both birthdays. But then I felt like we couldn't do nothing on their real birthdays.
Now the fourth party was a little surprise. I had talked about doing a friend party for Owen, but never really got around to it. Jeff was on-call working all day and night on Owen's real birthday, and since things had been crazy that day I decided to scrap it. Then when Owen went up to ask the neighbour boy to play I heard him telling him and his mom that he was having a party later on, and he asked them if they could come. They quickly accepted and so I went up and told them we had sort of been planning on one, but that I wasn't sure..... but the look on Owen's face helped me say maybe. All day I tried to talk him out of it, but he really really really wanted it. So at 4:30 we rounded up all the kids we could and had a party. Luckily there were leftover cupcakes from the night before and I had tons of fruit snacks which I wrapped up a bunch of times and we played the wrapping game. Owen also had fun showing his friends his new train.
Anyway here are some pictures from all the parties.

Sweet pictures. I loved the party and the friend party still makes me laugh. I am glad that everything has been so much fun. I love the picture of Hannah in the "Balloon room" That is super cute.
You're an awesome Mom. I'm glad you did the last minute friend party, sometimes that's almost easier, you don't have to prepare as much. The cakes (and cupcakes) look awesome. We'll have to try the sea of balloons sometime.
I think Owen and Hannah were afraid of being trampled by Lizzy. When are you coming to visit?
Wow Caroline that is pretty sweet! I love Owens Birthday cake! I can't wait to see you again! good job on all four parties the one that I went to was way fun!!
