Amelia's Backyard BBQ

So... this is a month late, I realize that, but we've been ... let's just say pretty busy. So I will try and catch you up with all that's been going on.

Last month, we celebrated Amelia's 4th birthday! (WOW) She wanted a "backyard bbq" and I tried to deliver. The party was scheduled just 2 days after my mom had foot surgery so we ended up having it at my parents house. I thought their big yard would lend itself well to a backyard party... and then it rained all day. So, inside we went. Here's a few pictures of the party...

Smores cupcakes on the "fire"
(it looked cooler in person)

Food table: there was pulled pork sliders, hot dogs, fruit. chips, salad on a stick, corn on the cob


blueberry lemonade and pie pops


about to blow out the candles

reading cards (what 4 year old does that?!?)


She was excited about the books she got.

Mom and Dad decided to get her some fish... She was really excited. Not surprisingly, they didn't last long. Birthday present FAIL



Since it was raining, we played our yard games in the basement. We played a few games with most people, then the 3 kids did some bag races.

it was intense.


We had a fun night even with all the rain. Can't believe she's four.
