Weekend To Par-Tey!!!!

So this weekend

we had

not one,

but two

birthday parties!!

Both kiddies

- celebrated their parties

on their actual day of birth

and

- turned the big

On Saturday,

we --the whole family--

headed to a swim party for

this handsome little guy,

our nephew

Joe Joe.

He had a pirate/underwater theme.

There was dress up like a pirate time

and a real pirate

[Grandpop Douglas]

came for a visit, too!

His cake was a shark

along with some shark & beach themed

cupcakes!

YUM!!

The tots pulled strings to release the treats in a

pirate skull piñata

and

played a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey

for some cool prizes

--everyone won--!!

It turned out to be a great day

despite the earlier showers

and

everyone had a fun time!!

On Sunday,

we--Shea & I--

headed over to our pals'

--me-Donna & Shea-Laurel--

for a pizza party

for this little lovely

Laurel.

She had a Strawberry Shortcake theme

and a

BIG cake, too!!

The kiddos took turns pulling ribbons

on a piñata for some goodies

and

each got a goody bag, as well!

We had a nice time

meeting their family and

getting to spend time with them!

I even got to hold this little guy

for a bit!!!
