Wordless Wednesday

Christmas 2010

I didn't get many pictures this year, but its been crazy here. Lots going on with the new house and what not. So, better then nothing:

Christmas at Doug's mom's house a week early

Christmas Eve party

Handsome cousins

Mrs Clause, Santa, Jingles the Elf, Grandma (who got run over by a reindeer)

Oh yes, my friends, I am related to all these folks!

Nope, still not a fan of the man in red.

Cousins in their green Christmas pjs

Christmas Morning!

(I assure you this is not as obnoxious as it looks. You try stuffing gifts, many in giant boxes, for 5 adults and one toddler under the worlds smallest Christmas tree!)

It was a little weird not being in our own house at all, with all of our Christmas stuff in storage, but next year will be better!

Wordless Wednesday

Merry Christmas!

The 3rd time is not the charm.

Another classic bad Santa photo! I'm a mean mom though, because I love it.

And that tie? It kills me its so stinkin' cute!

Milo's Yo Gabba Gabba Party!

Since we lived in Seattle last year Milo didn't get to have a big huge 1st birthday party with all of our family and friends. So, while I'm not a big fan of the giant-invite-everyone-you-know-party for every birthday, I though Milo deserved to have his big party still!

For his 2nd birthday we did a Yo Gabba Gabba themed party. He loves Yo Gabba Gabba, and really, I don't mind them either, as far as kids shows go.

Here's a reference in case you live under a rock don't have a toddler.

The invite, from here, which I love!

We had the party in my mom's church basement since we're still living in her house, which is too small for that many people inside.

Gifts and Drinks

Cake Table

Complete with yo gabba gabba cupcakes...

and this amazing Brobee cake my mom made.

Love it so much!

With photos of Milo from the last 2 years hanging over the cake.

The Tables

With a variety of Yo Gabba Gabba coloring pages for the kids (and adults!) to color while they hang out.

These marshmallow sticks turned out so cute and were a huge hit with the little ones! I was I could take credit from the idea, but they came from this super smart lady.

Bowls of m&ms, cheese balls, and colored goldfish on all the tables - pretty much Milo's most favorite things!

The super cute DIY banner I got from this shop.

The favors - cookies and Yo Gabba Gabba mix cds, done by Milo's Grandma and Grandpa Levitt.

Party Time!

What? You don't eat your m&ms with a spoon, like cereal?!

Its important for the birthday boy to try the cake AND the cupcakes for good measure!

Not great, but probably the best picture of the 3 of us. I made us all shirts - Doug is DJ Lance, I'm Foofa, and Milo is Brobee!
