Birthday Invitations and some recent Pics

I had big plans of making all the invitations for the party myself, but I finally came to my senses and realized I didn't have time and there was no way I could make anything this cute...

There are so many great Dr. Seuss things on etsy! This particular invite came from "pixels4parties". I loved how it turned out!

And a recent picture of each of the boys...

Just can't get enough of Ezra's hair! It sticks straight up like this for about a day after his bath!
And Ashton's new favorite thing to do is yell!! On this particular day, every time we tried to get a picture, he would start yelling!

Enjoy your day!

Birthday Party Prep

I can hardly believe I just typed that title...how can it almost be time to celebrate Ezra & Ashton's 1st Birthday? The past 11 months seemed to have been here and gone in the blink of an eye! I have been planning their Dr. Seuss themed birthday party in my head for months and have a Pinterest board filled with ideas. Now I am putting my own spin on all those ideas, which means I've actually been able to use a few of my neglected craft supplies!! The invitations were mailed out yesterday and I took today off of work to get a few projects done.

So far today, I have made the menu cards and a pennant banner using some digital papers I purchased on etsy.

This banner is about 15 feet long, but I don't have anywhere in my house that I can hang it an get a decent picture of the whole thing. So this is just a snippet of it.

Can't wait to share pictures from the party. I will try to post more pictures of the decorations and such before the party if I have a chance, but no promises!

Hope you are enjoying the day!
