All partied out
Not even the rain could stop us from having a party, even if we had to move it into the garage. We really need to get our patio finished, but that's a story for another day. Luckily we have a big garage and who says you can't have a good time eating with a few cobwebs, a leaky roof, and on the ping pong table (we always set it up in the garage for the kids to play with, not eat on unless it rains)? 
Everyone came down for a BBQ to celebrate Pearl's birthday. Pearl was so excited to have the whole family and our neighbors over and ran around crazy from one person to another (stealing food from each of them on the way). She loves having everyone together but the excitement nearly kills her. She was exhausted and in bed about 15 minutes after everyone left. Jeff was pooped too... I guess cooking steaks, chicken, bean salsa salad, and setting everything up can wear you out. What a stud!!! Seriously ladies, you should be jealous. Jeff is an amazing husband! He is a great cook, a great dad, and a great gardener. The list could go on and on! 
My measly contribution to the party - besides giving birth to the birthday girl - was picking up an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins and getting in an argument with Jeff over it in the process. See My 365 Project Blog for full details on the cake.
Before opening presents, we took an attempt at a family photo to document the occasion. This was as good as we got, but at least we have a shot of us all together. 
Now for the presents! Look a new shirt (and jammies, shorts, skirts)! Pearl also got a super cute Melissa & Doug wooden sandwich set that you can layer sandwiches or a burger with and the pieces velcro together, penguin umbrella, books, and puzzles.
Doritos face. Pearl gave Jesse a huge handful of Doritos and then stuffed them in her mouth as fast as she could. She eats chips (or "chip-a-chip-chip-a" as she calls them) so funny! It's like watching a chipmunk stuff their face. She takes hundreds of tiny bites as she continues to shove it in, without pausing until the entire chip is in her mouth, and crumbs are spilling out the sides of her mouth.
If you can't get Pearl and Ruby to pose for a picture with their new matching penguin umbrellas, get Kimmy and EZ to pose! Or make Kimmy hold both of them down until you get a shot.

That's right, I can make my nieces smile and pose for a picture anyday..or you can always use mine and Em's cute faces as backup! Fun party! Great cake!
It only rained a little....
Hopefully Pearl will continue to want to be around her family.
What a fun party! My boys want us to throw one for them this year...we'll see. I love the Doritos-chip face. So cute!
The party looks like it was a lot of fun! How cute is Pearl! I eat doritos that way too, ;) ha ha ha.
Also, I like Jeff's Detroit shirt.....that is where my husband is from....
