It's a rootin' TWOotin' Jamboree!!

Mabelle had her Rootin' TWOotin' cowgirl jamboree last night, and it went really well. She had several friends come, and had a blast playing with them and opening all her gifts. She loved everything, and wanted to play with it right then and there. I didn't go "all out" with decorations, but we did do some fun things. We had WANTED signs for all the kiddos, along with their favor bags wrapped in burlap and tied with bandannas. I also made the hanging pennants, tablecloth, Mabelle's birthday shirt (although Daddy did draw the design), and we did some fun food to go with the theme (pigs in a blanket, peanuts, fritos, dips, potato salad, and macaroni salad). We also had a horseshoe cake that we put a cowprint on, with fun red and white cupcakes and some fabulous balloons--featuring a HUGE cowboy boots balloon. We had a great time and are soo thankful for all the gifts she received, as well as all the people who were able to come. Here's some pics to prove there was an actual par-tay :)

Part of the decorations...without the balloons. You can see the WANTED signs, gift table (with the basket of favors on it), the pennants hanging, the birthday girl's rocking chair, and Sunny sleeping (but decorated as well!).

Mabelle in her Daddy's new truck, checking things out.

Greeting her BFF, Charlee, as she got there. Charlee dressed up too...YEE-HAW! Mabelle's cowprint leggings with her cowboy boots :) Momma & Mabelle dressed for the party--we didn't get a picture of Mimi dressed up too! :( Just being sooo darn cute.

"Momma...moneys!!!!" She quickly closed the box (only letting one of the hundred dollar bills get away). She loves moneys--Sissy, Chris, Izzie, Nick, y'all did good!! Food......mmmmmmmmm......"don't eat it"!

The other hit of the party...a HUGE Cinderella card that sings. Oh, how she loves those cards that sing...thanks Mimi & Papa!Her new trike from Momma & Daddy.
Her new rocking horse from Charlee..."woohoo".

The cake and cupcakes, with a splash of peanuts!!

Blowing out her candle on her horseshoe cow cake...yeah, Mimi and Momma have skills (that don't really pay the bills....hahahaha).

Mmmmm....cupcake...

Mabelle LOVES a cupcake!
Goodbye hug for Charlee.
Goodbye hug for Race.
After party snack...
Thank you everyone...keep a lookout for your special thank you card soon!!!!
