bristel's birthday picture marathon (finally!)

So this was Bristel the night before her party...
down for the count with the hurlie bug!




I crossed my fingers...and frosted the cake...


decked the table...




...and even wrapped the gifts anyway! In left over Christmas paper!



And this was Bristel the next morning! Out with the hurlies...on with the party!





Trevy may have had the most fun out of everybody! He LOVED playing toss n' chase with the tissue paper




Poor Tobes...he didn't bounce back quite as quickly as the b-day girl.







We're party minimalists. Birthdays are spent with family only. But the b-day-ee gets to choose the cake...the theme...and the food!
Bristel wanted pizza...chocolate cake...soda...and a My Little Pony theme
She had SO much fun that she's still talking about her My Little Pony Party!


I love this pic! My gang of sicksters were totally wiped out afterwards!

and spent the rest of the day camped out on the couch...
Just like this!

D, don't feel bad, we are the same way in our house! Family only and my oldest will be 7 this year. With the new baby coming, no friends this year either! The girls do get a cake from the grocery store bakery though...mom's not much of a baker!! lol And yes, they do get to choose their own themes too.

Glad to hear that Bristel had fun. Of course she bounced back fast, all girls will when there is a birthday party on the line!! lol

Hope everyone is fully recovered from the sickies now!

Awwww...that's a wonderful bday story!
We're bday minimalists too...I don't know about there but's way over board here. People spend waaaaaay too much money on the whole shabang (uh, I've seen one yr olds party that are licensed (alcohol) rented hall, full catered meal and the works...for a 1yr old! We have friends for the 1st bday but the rest we havent' & I make the cake and then we have a special family date. It's lovely to have it just family.
The pic of your camped out sickies is sweet. Makes you want to bring them all a hot chocolate, special movie & snuggle in.
Hope everyone is tip top shape now.

All that matters is whether or not they have fun, which despite the sickies, she looked like she did ;) Javi is really the only one that we make a big production because he is a "birthday" person, plans it out months in advance. The rest of us are just happy to have cake and pizza with the fam.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
