Happy Birthday Huddy Buddy!

I can't believe my little buddy is four today. Doesn't four seem SO much older than three? He is just about the funniest person I know. He has me cracking up all day...when I'm not REALLY mad at him. I swear, there is no middle ground with him, we either LOVE him or want to put him in time-out forever. His cutest-little-face-ever saves his life constantly.

What a kid!

He was so excited to have his first "friend party" and he picked "How to Train Your Dragon" for the theme. It was so fun! Here is the invite I designed for him:

I've not done anything like it before and it was a fun challenge for me...I know, no picture of him...not like me...

Lisa-Marie, one of my BFFs, VOLUNTEERED to make him a dragon cake. Yep, you read that right, volunteered. Yes, I love her too. Isn't it amazing? Hudson was thrilled.

And just in case that wasn't enough, she also brought these darling little cupcakes. She's amazing, did I mention I love her?

At the party, we had gorgeous weather, lots of pizza and lots of friends.

Luckily, some of Hudson's friends are also some of Kennedy's.

And are also Hadley's...

Thanks so much to Lisa-Marie, Aunt Trina, Aunt Cristen and Grandma Marcia for helping with Hadley, running the camera, and making the party just plain run a little smore smoothly. Isn't it funny how, with 13+ kids around, and few extra grown-up hands can make all the difference!

We played "Viking Says" (simon says) and "Red Dragon" (red rover)...

And opened LOTS of fun new stuff...

Notice the wrapping paper flung everywhere and the kids swarming in to see the loot.

I love it.

All in all, it was a great day! Hudson was so excited that a few family members could come up, especially Trina in her "sweet race car." (I can't believe I didn't take a picture, its a super-hot new Camaro.)

Dustin was happy to do some actual racing. I was thrilled to do 5 over down Main Street while completely some fast lane changes, but when Dustin got behind the wheel, he put me to shame. Lets just say, had he been caught doing his top speed, he probably would have spent Hudson's party in a cell. Yes, good times. Thanks again, Trin!

Special thanks to Aunt Jami, and the hours spent playing with the moon dough...every kid should have an aunt Jami...may you never, ever grow up. Love you all!
