Birthday Fun!! Party #2

Last week we loaded up the car, dog and all (left Amos home though) and hit the road for Arkansas. Perri isn't exactly the most fun to travel with so long car rides are always interesting, but the trip wasn't too bad. The ride up she slept 20 minutes and was pretty fussy but the drive home she was silent and just sat quietly, sucking her thumb. I even got to sit and finish a book!! Amazing!! Now that she is weaned and we don't have to stop and nurse, we've gotten to trip down to about 8 hours. Our first ride up took over 10. Whew, don't miss that!!

Anyhow, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all the family, and then celebrated Perri's birthday on Saturday night. My mom has been a HUGE help with her birthday and did pretty much everything for it, which we appreciated SO very much!! We had planned on just buying everything but mom wanted to make it all so she made loads of chili, cheesedip, all the cupcakes and even Perri's adorable sock monkey smash cake!! The cupcake toppers we did order from etsy (my favorite web site ever!!) and I made the birthday banner but most other things were made!! Thanks mom and dad for hosting the party, we had a wonderful time!!

Get ready for picture overload...
