It just came and went

I'm realizing I am not blogging as often as I would have like too. I always seem to be so busy for some reason...

Early September, I was so busy with last minute preparations for Kayla's second birthday party. Her birthday was Hello Kitty themed, we chose the theme sometime in June. I thought up details early so I could start on everything and not have to do everything last minute. I wanted to be original as far as decorations, I decided to be a little creative and make some of her decor... Although I thought up ideas in July, I ended up finishing everything last minute. Of course, I had to wait until I got most of the RSVP's in to get an idea of how many kids were coming as far as the goody bags and I ended up making way too many...

This party just came and went... We are so lucky to have families who are so supportive with our plans. Especially our parents who have always been there to help us thru the planning and I'm so thankful that we have so many people willing to help us out, especially Kathy and Kelli (you guys were so there in my time of need!!!). We had a great turn out and plenty of food.

These parties go by way too quickly, the time tends to pass me by... It's so me to get caught up in the moment of it all trying to make sure it goes perfect which never happens. After the fact I think to myself and say things like "why did I stress about that." For future birthdays think less on perfection, and live more in the moment. She'll have plenty of birthdays to come :o)
