We has Elise's birthday party today... 25 plus family members. I am exhausted. I am just getting my second tri energy back but this took a lot out of me. I want to call in sick tomorrow I feel as swollen!
On the bright side it was a perfect day, Elise's dress was gorgeous, and everyone had fun. She got the little tykes sand and water table and loved the sand so much. I am glad this only comes once a year though! And a glass of wine def would have helped!
How did everyone else's parties go... I thinks there were a few this weekend, too?
Fun! Happy birthday to your DD. We had our party yesterday. It was small, just some family & a few friends. We grilled out & had cake. Even thought it was small it was still tiring hosting my parents & inlaws for the weekend. I did enjoy a few beers though!
Ds's party was yesterday. we only had 15 people but it was still exausting setting up, cooking, then cleaning up everything. DS got a tricycle and clothes from us, lots of toys, clothes and a LOT of money/gifcards from everyone else. I think we will be getting a water table and kids picnic table with the money.
We had ours yesterday. It went well. There were about 30 friends & family. My not-so-good napper didn't take his morning nap -- the one thing I really wanted. I wished I could have helped him get to sleep, but I had to be at the park 2 hours early to save a good spot. The party was at 11a, & he started to meltdown around 1230. He was a trooper. My other son was great, because he napped & is more social than his brother.
I, too, was completely exhausted. Still am! My father-in-law stayed with us & offered to babysit so my DH & I could have a night out. Boy it was hard for both of us to go out, but we took advantage & got some drinks. We deserved it. Needless to say, we were in bed by 9
Super cute pictures! Jack's party was today. It was exhausting, but lots of fun! And you could hardly see his hurt lip! I will try to get some pictures up tomorrow.

The most important part of my day yesterday was getting her to nap by 11. Not accomplished but I got her down by 1145 an she slept for two hours, which was enough thankfully. I am glad your party worked out even without a nap. I would have been a wreck!
