Party Central

Bes really hit the motherload with a birthday close to Thanksgiving. We start celebrating every year with Brad's family while they are in town for the holidays and from then on we are in birthday mode. 


On her actual birthday, she woke up to a room all decorated with streamers by Shawn our elf, who decided to make his much anticipated arrival on Bessie's special day. Since the first day of school Bes has been looking forward to "K" show and tell so she could bring her beloved Kit! How awesome that it landed on her birthday! The two of them headed off to school all smiles with pink sprinkled donuts to celebrate with her friends! Afterwards, it was time for our "girl day"... lunch at Bessie's restaurant of choice {Logan's} and mani/pedis!! Daddy had to work on the 30th so the celebrating continued Saturday with pottery painting at church that morning and a trip to Build A Bear that afternoon! And... finally... it was PaRtY time! She couldn't decide on a theme so we just did them all! Hello Kitty, Barbie, Lala Loopsy and peace signs!


The fabulous cake by Taylor Massey... 
just how Bes wanted it... perfection...


until little Mae decided she would dig right in. 
I did my best to repair it. =(

 







Turning 5 has never been so much fun! She's already asking how long it's going to be before she turns 6! Sigh.

Happy birthday to Bes!

Bessie got a new swingset for her birthday!!


FINALLY!! Daddy's finished building it and it's 
ready for some action!









So often I hear, "your girls look nothing alike!" and for the most part I do think they look very different
 but when I saw this picture it made my heart smile. =)

The "best ever" weekend!

 Bes's cousin, Lydia invited her to a Justin Beiber concert!! Highlight was Carly Rae Jepsen, otherwise know as the Call me maybe girl, as the opening act! Such fun memories but the party got started just a little too late for my early to bed, early to rise little girl... Justin Beaver or not she was having a hard time keeping her eyes open!










The next morning we were off to the zoo!!
Sumrall 4 and Dee


The last time we went to the zoo Bes was Mae's age...

And now she's a big girl!
