Neil is 36!

We did lots of celebrating for Neil and his 36th birthday.  He said this is the first birthday where he has felt old.  I don't see old at all, looking good Neil!  We got up and made his birthday breakfast using candles from Richard's 63rd birthday in November.  :)

The kids made adorable cards for daddy!

Best. Picture. Ever.

Someone loves her daddy!

Birthday dinner was boiled shrimp at the birthday boy's request.  

Henry kept trying to blow out Neil's candles, but it was Bennett's turn because Henry blew out the birthday ones.  Never a dull moment.

Underwear on his head.

 We went to Frank's for an adult dinner courtesy of Richard and Janine.  Janine even had a pink angel food cake made for him like his grandmother used to make.  Fresh whipped cream and strawberries too!  What a special birthday!

Happy 36th birthday, Neil!  

St. Jude Gala

We have been working so hard for the past 6 months to raise money for St. Jude.  Our gala was finally on March 4th and we were thrilled!  We were so proud to say that we raised $230K for St. Jude!  

I donated a gift certificate for Festive Favors and we created a package of  party stuff.  

Dream Team

This is probably the dream team!

February Random

I hosted a girls game night at my house Mardi Gras themed. It is so much fun because we exchange gifts for no reason! :) The theme this month was bring a gift that is purple, green, or gold.

We met the family at the Crawfish Hole for one of winter dates for crawfish in Minden.

This girl.  This outfit. I can't handle the cuteness.

Neil took Sk for a date and I took the boys for a date.  They chose to eat at KROGER!  Needless to say, the food wasn't eaten.

We got a new tractor at the camp!  We took a day and went out to take it for a spin.  We took mom and met Nana and Granddad.

Good Lookin' Lewises!

Bennett finally lost his 2 front teeth!

Dr. Seuss week!  This was crazy hat day.

Dr. Seuss week: Crazy Hair day!

Andre's 40th birthday celebration!  I love how Erin does a party...over the top!

She had a face painter and Beau got the Red River logo on his head!  Neil wouldn't do it.

TKEs

We had so much fun at the celeDREation!

Loved my facepaint!

Her favorite breakfast: pringles and slim jim.  I am all about healthy.

Krewe of Highland

Krewe of Highland is by far our favorite parade! It is during the day, family friendly, and they have the most unique throws around!  Thankfully, Amy invited us over to her brother's house which is right near the parade route!  How nice and convenient!  A few of the throws we caught were moon-pies, beef jerky, Irish Spring Soap (the boys love using it), giant pixie sticks, hula hoop, and we missed out on the famous hotdogs!

Daniel and Amy

The kids LOVE Daniel!

We saw Kyzer cruising around on his bike.

Amy's parents...She gave me one of those sweet hats!

Party!

Sister caught a hula hoop

Krewe of Centaur

We have so much fun at Float Loading!  Krewe of Centaur opens up their float den the night before their parade.  You get right up next to the floats, get special beads, AND don't have to worry about getting run over.  Our friends have a float so we get to get on the float and see it from the rider's perspective.

Henry and Beau with their matching boots!

Valentine's 2017

We had some fun for Valentine's Day this year.  We made and decorated heart shaped cookies, had treats set out for Valentine's Day morning, and event got a date in.  I'd been so busy with Festive Favors, I'm shocked I was able to extra things for my kids.  

Bennett had been asking for a heart shaped box of candy.  He was so excited!

Not awake yet.

Sweet little valentine.  I made some heart shaped muffins that we NOT delicious.

DADS club date with Dad at School

Love this! They came home with SO MUCH stuff!  One of them even came home with a festive favor I had made! :)

Mom offered to keep the kids while we went on a date.  We had no plans and weren't expecting it, but when Mom says she wants to keep the kids you speed out of the driveway faster than the speed of light.  We drove around and then settled on Frank's, our favorite.  We split a salad, appetizer and dessert.  This is our 14th Valentine's Day together!
