Finally....B-Day Party Pictures (I know I am soo late!)

Okay...Mateo's Birthday Party. We met at a park with a playground, open grass field, a gazebo incase it rained, and a portapotty. It was perfect! And what a relief, we had agonized (ok I was probably the only one agonizing over this) over which park to use - we wanted a great park, but we weren't willing to pay the large fees to rent and reserve it...so it was kind of a risk to invite everyone hoping the park wouldn't be reserved already. So then we picked one that was great and wouldn't be reserved only to realize that a Mommy moose and her two twin baby moose were calling it home for over a week and a half. So the night before the party we were driving around town looking at parks and then calling the city to see if any of them were being used. God blessed us with the perfect little park! We didn't even know it existed until we drove by it. So we called everyone and sent them directions over email. And it all worked out! We had a great time with our little friends and our family! We did a monkey theme...

Here is the cake we stayed up half the night finishing...

Let's just say we were very tired people after the party...and do not plan on doing this every year!

Here we are fresh and ready to go at the park...where is everyone?
