We had such a good weekend this past weekend! It was the kind of weekend that weekends were created for! First, I must brag that my weekend started with an awesome run. I've really come to enjoy running & the company of some awesome friends isn't too bad! I came home to my BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!! I decorated the house for her party the night before and left out some donut holes for her breakfast. When I got home, she said "Mommy did you do my birthday?" "Did you do my hole donuts?" She's hilarious. Here's a couple of pictures my mom took of my sweet birthday girl that day!
I can't get over how big she looks in these pictures!
Then I quickly got ready for our church date night & headed up to the church w/ the kids. Mitch met me there a little later. We enjoyed delicious food, dessert, games, and some time together! Here's a picture to commemorate!
I figured I'd come home to full scale party mode, but I just wasn't feeling great. Friday nights are not my best - the week really wears this mama down! I headed to bed with plans to finish everything the next morning. Thankfully, I worked a bit all week to get the house ready and my plan to finish everything Friday worked out. I baked all morning then drove the kids to Chick Fil A for some birthday party day lunch while Mitch picked up a few things for me. As soon as the kids went down for a nap I was in full scale sprint mode :) I managed to get everything ready for Maddex's Princess Sofia party just in time! Mitch and Major headed to Cabela's while the girls partied :) I think the girls all had a good time, and Maddex really loved her party!
Excited about some Sofia figurines!

The girls headed home, the boys returned home, and our family came over for another party!! We ate pizza, sang some more happy birthday, and Maddex got to eat a second cupcake! We really enjoyed splitting the afternoon between family and friends!

This has definitely been my favorite birthday party so far! Our house is still in birthday party hangover mode :)
Sunday wrapped up the weekend nicely. We started with church then headed to Chimes for some brunch. I ate a crawfish omelette. Thank you Jesus for crawfish omelets. I went home and took an amazing nap!! I told Mitch I'd take the first kid who woke up to Target with me, and that happened to be my Harpy girl! She is usually a super long sleeper, so I was surprised when she was up first! I looooooved having some one on one time with just my baby girl - I have found that Major gets a lot of one on one time (mostly bc he's not a great sleeper) and Maddex gets a lot after the babies are down for the night. Sweet Harper Elle is such an easy girl that she doesn't get much time like this at all! This grin shows how happy she was to spend time with Mommy!
I'm so thankful for such sweet time with my kids and such a special celebration of my big girl! Thank to everyone who celebrated with us and helped make that day so special!
