Pictures and Parties

We had a busy day today. But before I get into it Elijah and I ran errands yesterday. One of the stops was the party supply store to look for stuff for Elijah's birthday party. Right when you walk in was this huge bear and Elijah wanted his picture taken with it...

Okay, so we left this morning at 9am to drive to Harker Heights to have the kids pictures taken. We drove all that way because that is the closest Portrait Innovations. If you don't know about this place you need to. It is a studio that takes the best pictures for the best prices (so good that we drove 45 mins to get there). I have even talked to customer service to request them opening a store here. We got a ton of pics and the whole CD for $100! We will give out the pics at Elijah's birthday party so I won't post the ones we got till after the party. If you want one or some and can't make it to the party just let me know. These are some that we DID NOT get, but I thought they were funny.

By Elijah's face you would think this is the last of the session, but nope...the first picture! It was a long session. I'm glad there are no video cameras, I did everything short of threatening them, standing on my head and bribing them to get them to smile...

Click on this pic and check out the eyelashes on this kid!...

"Hmmm, this is interesting. Bet I could eat it"...

"Is this face good enough to get y'all to stop and pick me up?"...

Just 'laxin'...

His sophisticated look...

Wow...those are some nice faces...

Probably plotting something against me. "Okay, you poop in your pants and I'll throw up...then they'll have to stop taking our picture!"...

This is one sweet girl! Just looking at it makes me want to go wake her up and gobble her!...

After pictures we drove to Temple to have Janice's Birthday Lunch. We went to a Mexican food place which is great for Elijah. He'll sit there for an hour and dip his chips. He went thru a whole basket by himself! Nutritious!!

I forgot Sadie's high chair cover so she had to manage with a blanket from the car. She did great...

Sadie and the birthday girl...

"Happy birthday to you!"

We went to Mamaw's after lunch for cake and ice cream! It was sooo good. I think I ended up with more gifts than Janice though (mostly for the kids)! We had a great time. Happy Birthday Mimi! We love you!!!
