Jamie arrived Thursday night at 11:15PM and we began making our "to-do-list" for the weekend! Friday, Aunt Molly and Khaki came and played with Parker while Jamie and I ran errands. Friday night the Bailey family came over for dinner and then Jenna, Jamie, Colt and I stayed up all night doing a little bit of everything! Saturday Aunt Casey arrived in town and came to the house with Pawpaw, Khaki, and Aunt Molly. They brought Parker and I gifts and took Parker to lunch while Jamie and I worked inside and Colt and a few guys worked outside. Then Pops, Mimi, Aunt Al, and Aunt Shelly arrived and then a few hours later Stephen (Jamie's husband) arrived! It was fun to have to have everyone here and yes I put them all right to work too;) We had a really good time working and spending time together! At Khaki and Pawpaw's house they were working just as hard making "Halloween Bark" and 70 "Mummy Hotdogs"! I think it is a tradition I would like to do every Halloween with or without a birthday party!!
I cannot thank everyone enough for helping make Parker's birthday SO special!!! Everyone worked really hard and I think we all slept really good Sunday night! I will be posting birthday party pictures soon!
Here is an overload of pictures!
