Party Time

Today was party day.

And the last day of softball.

E headed off to play in the last softball game of the season.

D went to a birthday party for a classmate.

Then we all headed of to Sissys' house for my niece K's graduation party.

Family and family friends this afternoon.  Then tonight K was having a bunch of friends over for a bonfire.

It was a beautiful day.  Weather was perfect.

Sissy did a fabulous job with all the decorations and pulling all the little details together.

I have decided that she can definitely plan any party I am have in the future.

And she definitely will be planning D&Es' high school graduation party.

Love the tables and chairs with fabric tablecloths.  So pretty.  CC Sissy and niece, M in the background.

Love these straws that Sissy had.  And the little "congrats" flags.

The lemonade and iced tea were perfect drinks for today.  And she had some soda from a local soda maker.

Lots of yummy flavored soda.  Strawberry, orange, birch beer, pineapple, lemon-lime, black cherry, root beer.  Yum.

The girls were in heaven.  Let's just say there weren't any no's today from me.  They were very happy girls.

Sissys' dog Jack just resting in the grass.  Amidst all the goings on.

By halfway through the day he was practically comatose in the grass.  Fast asleep. It was a busy day for him.  Lots of people.

Pretty flowers on the tables.

Love this picture of Hubby with K and J.  Gosh, where have the years gone?

Sissy has a clothes line out her back door.  She pulled together a bunch of old pictures of K as a little one.

Really cute pictures.

And we'll just say that apparently 1996 was a year that K spent a lot of time in the corner.  

Gotta love that moms are happy to take pictures of their kids when they are in trouble.

I know I have a few taken a few myself.

This was one of my highlights of the day.

K's cake.

It is from a local Italian bakery.

If you are familiar with and like Italian Tri Color/Rainbow Cookies,  then you will love this cake.

It is that cookie in cake form.  And it is delicious.

Hubby really liked the cake too.  And he is not a fan of cake, at all.  He had two pieces.

I think this will be our new cake of choice for birthdays.  Yum.
