Birthday Night Dinner, cake and presents......

After a very BIG day celebrating at pre school...we ate birthday lunch with Nana and her assistants at Inman....then went to get ready for more celebrating that night. Grammy made the birthday cake...a purse...so cute and very Campbell!!!
We are so lucky to have Grammy make all the birthday cakes....she is so talented and they are YUMMO!!!

The 3 Amigo's

Look at sweet baby Campbell with 5 birthday candles on that cake!!!! SO BIG!!!! I I honestly cannot believe it still!

Making her wish......

Now....to the gifts!!! As if she hadn't gotten enough already.....

So funny.....cause they all thought it was something they needed to get a running start and run off of......like a slip n slide or something....then they realized they could play songs!

Birthday at Preschool

I woke up Thursday morning thinking...5 years ago at this exact time I was in Murray hospital waiting to go in and have my sweet baby Campbell! Where has the time gone....she is 5 years old!!! This has been an extremley emotional week for me...5 just seems SO BIG.....like she is completley no longer in the baby years. I cannot believe she will go to Kindergarten in the fall!

So thursday at preschool she got to celebrate with all of her little friends and wonderful teachers! I had not been there on a birthday day before so I was so excited to see what they did. She also got to bring snack for everyone that day....she picked out scrabble cheez-its, grapes and capri suns!

This is when she picked 5 friends to be her candles on her cake and the class sang the traditional "Happy Birthday" song.....so cute!

Then she got to pick a new gift out of Ms. Angie's birthday box....she picked sidewalk chalk with holder.

She then got to lead the class in the prayer before snack.

EXTREMLEY last minute park party

Well since back in the fall Campbell has said she really wanted a park party.....well I kept telling her we would have to see...and then the closer her bday drew near I told her if that is what she wanted she would have to wait till it got warmer...and she was good with that. Well last Saturday it was a beautiful sunny 64 degree day....and I was thinking wow....sure would have been nice to have it this weekend.....well then I thought guess its not to late. So I started calling to see if her friends could come Sunday afternoon(because it was supposed to be 65 again)....and surprisingly enough all but a couple could...so I went for it...and keeping it a surprise from her! I also go to church with Tony Lawrence(park director)...so was able to find out Sat night that the pavillion wasn't rented for Sunday afternoon.
I was able to order cake from Walmart Sat night....and get all of the food, drinks, etc as well. With my brother still working at Schemes and Themes...we were able to get a bouncer at the park as well. Let me just say....the party went very well considering it was thrown together in less than 24 hours! She was completley surprised when we got to the park and she realized the party was for her.


PICS from the party

Preschool Valentine Party

Campbell had her Valentine's Day Pre school party a few weeks ago....

Cooking for Helping Hands

Last Friday the smaller children at church had a cooking for Helping Hands afternoon after school...since our church day was Saturday and Sat. night! Dr. Phil Nanney was the guest chef and made it so fun for all the children to get to be involved in the process. They had several different groups at different stations and would rotate every 10 minutes so everyone got to do everything. They made 4 big Italian dinner for 4 baskets....included the spagetti, bread with special dipping oil.....beuatiful spring mix salad and then brownies.

Here is Campbell and MK smashing the tomatoes with their hands....so funny!

Putting the herbs into the dipping oil....yum yum...

Campbell and sweet little Kennon.....

Cooking wears little girls out...so they needed snacks afterwards.

They all so much fun and the dinner baskets were a BIG hit at Helping Hands Saturday! Our church was so excited to not only reach our goal of 20,000 that day...but far exceed it at over 26,000 dollars!!! It was a Helping Hand record!
