I Survived 5

It's official.  Grace turned 5.






We celebrated.  (Don't worry, you'll get your post party invitation in a few days.)

And, then came the aftermath of the celebration.


The mess.


After completing nearly everything on my list, for the big celebration...


I was exhausted.  When all was said and done, this momma decided to celebrate that I survived.


And, then we decided we needed to escape. 

So, we packed up and went to Wisconsin...for an entire week. 

 
The entire family escaped for the adventure.





And, now we are home. 

Did you miss me?  Because I missed you!

  15. I just sat down today to plan my soon to be 5 year old's party...from the aftermath, yours looks like it was a success. Let's hope girl, Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle party goes off just as well.

  16. If that moss covered 5 is any indication of the party decor I can't wait to see it! Wasn't it about this time last year when I discovered you and your awesome Big Top tent from party for a 4 year old?!!

  17. So fun! And, Cupcake is yummy - MY FAVORITE (BTW!). Can't wait to see party pics.... I'm sure it was fabulous! Every good party plannin' mommy needs a vacay when it's all said and done... birthday parties are exhausting!

    1. And, I have since learned, sometimes returning from vacations can be equally as exhausting :)

  18. I'm glad you survived 5 and I'm really glad you got to get away for a bit. Cupcake wine...yummm! I love that picture of you and Grace on the dock and the one of the dog on the surf board. How fun is that??! Looking forward to the party post because no on throws a party like you!

  19. Glad you survived and yes I missed you. Glad you had a good vacation. I love that your dog stayed on the paddle board - I don't think our puppy (Golden Retriever) would have now that she has learned that she likes water.

    1. Thanks Heather. Our dog hates the water, which might be why she didn't attempt to leave the board :)

  20. Mo better get his act together if he is going to keep up with his female counterpart..... he has never surfed before. And did the banana have anything to do with the wine? I gotta know.

  21. Um, yes, of course we missed you! Glad you were only gone for a week. Looks like your getaway was just perfect. I'm a little jealous. That dock on the lake looks pretty darn inviting.

  22. I have been away too long, thought I would drop by & say hi! I still love everything about your blog Amy! Grace looks like she had an awesome birthday party! Wish Mr.Hooah & I could take a get away! (:

  23. Congratulations on surviving! Birthday parties should always be followed by a glass of wine (or two) and how smart to add a vacation to that!
