Susie’s Chick-fil-A Party

Susie was definitely “under the weather” and didn’t want me to let her go, so I held her the whole time with her blankie…it was sad that she wasn’t herself, but I felt very loved and like a mommy:)

Notice my butterfly necklace…Susie’s party had a butterfly theme…it was sweet:)

  I did cupcake towers for this party with butterflies on them. My friend, Anita, had some butterfly gummies that I used.  But most of them were gummy slices cut lengthwise in half and then I put antlers and a spine in the middle with icing. (if this is what they are called)

The kids went back and forth and played in the play area…we were able to get tables right by it, not right away, so we did a little shuffling, but, as always, IT ALL WORKED OUT:)

We ordered a nugget tray and sweet tea and lemonade.  If you click on the bottom right pic you will laugh at my face which shows that the lemonade was TART-er than I was expecting:)

Happy times…everyone LOVES Chick-fil-A chicken! 

(the cows told us to;)

 

 

also, if you notice, JJ is surrounded by “girlfriends”…he doesn’t seem to mind:) Susie was very happy to chomp on fries…

Ha! Who are those young kids—are they old enough to have a baby??!!

Scott, our teammate, did a great job having his 3 girls by himself much of the time. Scott with his wife, Kaye.

LOVE this pose/face from JJ—totally a teenager.  And he found his ONLY other boy buddy, Jake.

still with the fries:)…

Calista is one of Susie’s best little friends…they don’t get to see each other often enough… Everyone is getting ready for cupcakes! Everyone picked theirs out right away… And Gracie ate her gummy right away:) JJ, again surrounded by girls and eating his butterfly cupcake…doesn’t seem to mind a bit!

Christina giving Calista her cupcake Susie still enjoyed her cupcake, even though she wasn’t feeling the best.

Opening presents…some “My Little Pony” books, a “bath doll” that goes in the bath with you and has bath toys and a hoodie towel for when she comes out.

Another sweet, squishy dolly…and the right is just a very “real” pic of a not-feeling-so-well baby and a confused? mommy.

“That’s not my dolly” touch and feel book.  I know the boy version of this series, but hadn’t seen any in the girl series.  Thanks Carrie!  She’s doing zerberts…one of her favorite things right now.  I love her sense of humor…it reminds me of my mom’s who she is named after.

Another blessed day…

Susanne Elizabeth…you are a Gift from God and we CAN’T tell you this enough.
