Party Weekend!!!

This weekend Mackenzie got to go to her first Slumber Birthday Party for one of her friends. She got home from School on Friday and finished packing her bag, signed her friends birthday card and was ready to go. It didn't start till 6:30 so we had three hours left till it started. I believe the time just went extremely slow for her. She asked almost every 10 minutes if it was time to go, or checked the clock to see the time. 6:15 finally came and we left to head to her friends house. We got there the same time one of the other girls and her mother showed up and we all went in together. I stayed and chatted for a few minutes, then told Mackenzie bye and Kylie Gabryle and I left. As we started towards the car, Gabryle started crying and yelling and pointing at the house. He fought to get his buckles in his car seat buckled and soon we were leaving. He pointed behind us out the back window and cried till we were halfway home. He did not like leaving his sister at someones house. I finally got him settled down by saying we were going to Wal-Mart and so we went and looked around for a little bit then went home and watched a movie.
We later picked Jerrod up from work and he took us to Braums and we got a little deal of ice cream for Gabryle and Kylie and let them stay up late and we had our own little party. The next morning, Saturday, I picked up Mackenzie around 8:30 and headed home. She had a great time at the party! They had a pillow fight, ate pizza and cake, watched Hannah Montana and stayed up late. Her friends mom told me that the girls stayed up till around 1 and then Kenzie was up along with a few of the other girls around 7. We have heard lots about the party since then and we're glad she had such a great time. After a long week for her she deserved having a good time with her friends just having fun.
Saturday we stayed at home and got things ready for Gabryle's birthday party, then Sunday had his party! Hard to believe he is 2 now. Seems like it has just flown by! He seemed to have a great time at his party. We grilled some hot dogs since that is one of his favorite foods and ate lunch. After letting lunch settle we let Gabryle open his presents. He had a blast opening presents!! We got him a few of the Toy Story Characters and a pair of boots which he Loved! Jerrod also got him a Tonka Dump truck, one of the good metal ones, not a cheap plastic one. He also got a lot of outdoor toys that he has had a  blast with!
We then had some cake and then sat around talking while the kids played in the bedrooms and a little in the living room. Everyone started leaving around 230, 300 and then we relaxed the rest of the day. we tried getting Gabryle to sit still to take a nap but he wouldn't. We ate our dinner and then around 7 Gabryle started getting extremely cranky. Jerrod picked him up and laid down on the sofa with him and Gabryle was out fast! He was passed out asleep before 7:30 and stayed asleep till he came in our room around 3 this morning before falling back asleep beside me in our bed.
All in all it was a good weekend for us! Mackenzie had a great end to a bad week, and we all got to celebrate Gabryle turning 2.

Till Next Time!!
