27 Candles

on MY cake! AH! I'm 27!! This can't be real, can it?!

This year we had a little shindig at our house with some close friends. We had pizza, a yummy salad from Sarah, & Erin was so nice & made a delicious PURPLE velvet cake for me. (I ended up freezing half of the cake so I am STILL enjoying it!) When it was time to blow out the candles I couldn't seem to blow more than 2 out so maybe that was the cake telling me that I'm not officially 27 yet. :) (thanks Sarah for helping me blow the candles out. what would I do without you?!) It was so great to have our friends & their kids over for a fun night.

On my birthday we drove up to Maggie Valley, NC for the Ensign Thanksgiving Bash. While there Kyle & I went out on a late lunch/early dinner birthday date. (if you're ever in the area, you've got to eat at the Sweet Onion in Waynesville) Thanks to the family for watching Cooper for us. I love spending some solo time with Kyle. Later that night we had some cake with all of the family. The cookies n creme cake was SO good!

I am so grateful to have such wonderful family & friends that make me feel so special every year!

yeah those flames weren't going anywhere.

Man I wish I had some more!

Cooper's Cookout

Cooper's Cookout was last Saturday at his Grandma & Poppa's house. The weather was quite warm but the shade & water slide were refreshing. :) It was so great to see family come together to celebrate Cooper's Birthday. Everyone pitched in to help with food, decor, & entertainment. I know Cooper loved all the attention & food. All of the kids had a blast climbing & flying down the water slide while the adults enjoyed watching said kids & chatting.

Here are the pics:

Some pictures of Cooper over the months.

Special thanks to everyone who helped make this a fabulous first birthday for Cooper! He's quite the spoiled little boy now with all of his gifts. We can't thank Cooper's grandparents enough for all of their time, money, work they put into this party. Last but not least thanks to Kyle for everything & for slaving over the hot grill. :)

A Party for Cooper

A few Sundays ago we invited some friends over for a little party to celebrate Coop turning 1. We enjoyed the beautiful weather, wonderful company, & delicious food. Kyle cooked up some Lowcountry Boil. It was so yummy! He did a great job & we can't wait to have it again! Then we sang to Cooper & watched him dive into his first cupcake. He LOVED the cupcake but didn't enjoy his party hat. Once Cooper was cleaned up we opened all the great gifts his friends gave him-he's one lucky kid! We didn't want the night to end! Thanks everyone for coming, eating, laughing, giving gifts, & cleaning up. :) We are so blessed to have such great friends here in Atlanta.
