Yellow Party: Part Trois

The finale...Elizabeth enjoyed her cupcake. She loved hearing her birthday song, too. She's such a ham who likes the attention!

Happy Birthday to you!

Hummm...what is this thing? I'll start slowly.

This thing tastes ok - lets take another swipe of frosting.

This cupcake eating is a lot of work...I need some water.

Yellow Party: Part Deux

The people...we were so proud of all of our friends and family. Most everyone came up with some sort of yellow in their closet. Luckily, if they didn't have anything, we supplied a couple of yellow kitchen aprons. Somehow we didn't get a picture of my parents. My dad arrived to the party in his yellow raincoat from his rainsuit! Mom spent some time in one of the yellow aprons (and it came in handy since she jumped in and helped me in the kitchen).

The winners of the yellow contest!

The Rohlings...yellow is BJ's color.

Yellow Party: Part Un

The decor...we got a little carried away, but with a theme, it's hard not to. Who knew there was so much yellow in the world?

The menu: Curried chicken skewers with pineapple, onion and yellow peppers, corn dip, 7 layer dip (with yellow tomatoes on top), yellow squash casserole, cornbread, mac & cheese, and some yellow candies.

Linus?

I thought that pose looked familiar...

Eleven 1st Birthdays!

Celebrating our kids' first birthdays!

Let the chaos begin! Elizabeth hanging out with Sutton the monkey

The group photos seem to get harder and harder...a couple of meltdowns, lunch time for some kids and most of them too busy for a photo opt

Grace and Elizabeth must be the models of the bunch - they were sitting still long after the photo shoot ended (maybe those toys had something to do with it).

Trick-or-Treat Kitty?

Fortunately, this little black cat didn't give us any bad luck. On Halloween, we went to our friends' house, Matt and Correy, to see their little pumpkin, Caitlyn and be part of their neighborhood parade. Our parade was rained on, so we cut it short.
