Anthony’s Birthday Bash

You plan, plan, and plan and then it’s all over in a flash!  That’s how this birthday party went, so much prep work and then it just flies by.  Anthony had so much fun, we rented a water slide for the kids … it barely fit in our yard (literally squeezed in) it was huge.  Anthony was just having the time of his life the entire party, everytime I saw him he had the hugest smile on his face.  I was a terrible photographer and took hardly any pictures at all, but on the flip side I spent time socializing with all our wonderful friends.  After I looked at the pictures I was so bummed I hadn’t taken more of the kids, more of our guests and so on …  

Here are some of the very few images I snapped 

  

Mads didn’t even think about going down the slide, she stayed in her little kiddie pool the whole time, and once she was cold and done swimming she took all her little girl friends into her room so they could destroy it in record time (that’s my girl!)   it literally looked like a tornado swept in.  Those girls must have changed their clothes 10 times! 

  

Joe and I have our roles, I’m the photographer and he’s the videographer … I think both of us failed in our jobs this weekend. 

      

Fun times!  Happy Birthday Ant Bear :)

    OH MY GOSH, does someone ever look like her daddy!!! This is the first time I’ve seen a picture of him, now I know where Maddison comes from! It looks like it was a fantastic party! I hope your little/big birthday boy had a great time!
