Happy 50th Cheryl!

Yesterday is was my co-worker and friend Cheryl’s 50th birthday!  A few of us planned a surprise party for her after school.  The theme was “Red Solo Cup”.  I had never heard this song before but my other friends love it and they thought it would be the perfect theme!  It turned out cute!  Everyone wrapped their gift in a Red cup and the cake was even in the shape of a red cup!  I had so much fun helping Cheryl celebrate even though I had to leave early!

Baby Shower

Last Saturday night we helped host a family shower for the upcoming arrival of baby McMillan.  It was so much fun getting together with the Johnston clan!  Andrew had fun playing with his cousin Banks.  Banks has learned to smile for the camera…he is too cute!

 

Baby Shower

This morning the girls, MeMe and I attended a beautiful baby shower for Jennifer Lynne and baby Lynlee.  Lynlee will arrive in April and she got lots of goodies today!

One of Sophie’s best friends, Hayden, was there with her mommy too!

beautiful sisters!

SB was a big help putting the paper in the trash bag and she liked putting the bows in her hair too!

Jennifer Lynne let the girls help open her big gift…it was a nice pack and play. 

We had a great time and can’t wait to celebrate again next Saturday!!

Birthday Boys!

These two cute boys share the same birthday!  How lucky is Syd to share his birthday with our 1st born nephew!  We had a little family get together to celebrate.  Syd’s mom brought a delicious homemade King Cake.  We usually get a King Cake for Syd’s birthday since it is always Mardi Gras!

Syd got a new rain jacket from us and SB picked him out a new tie.

We gave Brandon a race car mat with some new cars.

Sweet Meredith and Skip came over to celebrate too!  Look at these 2 precious girls!

Ko-Ko got a new hair cut like SB’s….we LOVE it!

Uncle Jason surprised Syd by coming home from school and look who was super excited to see him!

SB provided a little entertainment by playing a few notes on her violin.  Brandon and Sophie entertained themselves by playing games on the cell phone!

We had a great night.  Happy Birthday Syd and Brandon!  We love you both very much!!

Wee Americans

Sarah Beth performed in her program “Wee Americans” with the other Kindergarteners and Pre-School students on Thursday.  It was a very patriotic program.  She did an excellent job!  My cousin Reed also sang “I’m Proud to Be an American”.  It was really touching.

Everyone enjoyed watching SB perform!

Here is a picture of my Valentines!
