Trays Birthday Party!

Last night we had a birthday party for Tray-Tray. It went great and was so much fun! but MAN I am glad its over.. I don't know how its possible for a party for a one year old to be so much work! Anyone who knows me can testify that I am not the best planner in the world.. So I struggled a bit lol But we pulled it off and it was worth it. Before the party started I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get everything in order. Tray got to hang out for a couple hours with his Auntie and cousin so I could finish up the cakes, which was such a HUGE help. Thanks Rachel! Darren of course had a super huge work day and couldn't make it home until right before we had to leave to go over and set up for the party so I was stressing out a little bit. So being the WONDERFUL husband that he is he came home and surprised me with some roses.. Just to make me smile. :) What a catch huh!? It was so sweet.. It took all the energy I had left not to cry all my barely-applied-makeup off. Man I love him! Tray got to hang out for a few hours with a curler in his hair which was so cute! He was dressed as ELVIS and pulled it off great. What a cutie. We were going to do some black side burns too but I decided I really didn't want him getting black make up all over his outfit.


The roses Darren brought home for me.
