Our Five Ring Circus: Party Pros

Party Pros

It's no surprise that we attend a lot of birthday parties.  We have a huge family and a wonderful group of friends that are like family to us!

November is a big birthday month for us.  Not only is it Dylan's birthday month, but also a cousin, 2 nephews, 2 sisters, and a friend!

Not a month goes by without us attending at least 1-4 birthday parties!  This month was no different.

Last Saturday, before heading to the circus, we celebrated Grant's cousin's son's 8th Birthday.  Ethan and Dylan were born just weeks apart (they shouldn't be THAT close in age, but Dylan was in a hurry to be born).  My kids love spending time with Grant's cousin's kids!

We weren't able to stay too long, but we're glad we went.  The kids had fun, and it's always nice to see Grant's cousins.

Last night, we celebrated my nephew Tyler's birthday.  He is the baby of his family, and I can't believe how grown up he is!

We had a great time spending some time with my family!

Next up?  Dylan's 8th Birthday!  He shares a birthday with Thanksgiving this year, so we have to make it extra special for him!

  4. We attend many birthday parties too - or used to. Hubs' family is sporadic with them anymore. We had to endure Chuck E Cheese again on Saturday! Haha His Mom or one nephew often end up having their birthday on Thanksgiving but, what's more special than a huge feast of turkey and stuffing just for you?? ;)

  6. I was just thinking the other day that I'm going to have to plan another 1st birthday party in about a year. That's just crazy.

    Birthday parties are so much fun though!

  8. Wow, you sure do have birthdays galore! We have lots of them in September and October, but by now they start to fizzle out... Where do you find the energy?

    How fun that Grant's birthday falls on Thanksgiving... That should be a wonderful holiday!

  16. Your kids have the BEST smiles!!!!! I still can't believe Lily keeps her headbands in. I guess she must be used to them since you started her so early.
