Busy Labor Day Weekend

Friday: Brandon had to cover a high school football team way out in Harmony, MN (an hour away) so we kept him company (and awake!) during the drive. Halle did great...she slept on the way down, was awake the whole game (7-10pm) and then slept half of the way back. Sadly, this was one of our first family outings in awhile so it was kind of fun!

"Mom, don't bother me, I'm on the phone!!"

Saturday: We had some friends over to watch the Oregon vs. LSU game. Though we didn't like the outcome of the game, we had a lot of fun. Since the games usually aren't on local channels, I went all out and made all green and yellow food. It was fun! There was green and yellow cupcakes, mini fruit pizzas with green grapes and bananas, snicker salad that I dyed yellow, green peppers, yellow peppers, broccoli, guacamole and chips, lemon drops, green apple licorice, chips, pineapple and grapes.

Halle thought the Kylie's car seat was a lot of fun!! Kylie was all dressed up in Wisconsin colors with her adorable skirt and shirt.

Sunday: We went to Annabelle's Sweet Shoppe for her first birthday party. Erica did such a great job with all of the decorations and food. She had a candy bar with gum drop skewers, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, M&M's, laffy taffy, mints, tootsie rolls, gumballs, licorice drops and rock candy. She also had an adorable cake table with a kit kat chocolate cake, Annabelle's red velvet smash cake, cake pops, vanilla cupcakes and gumball machine cookies. There were a ton of people there so it was a lot of fun.


Sunday: We went to a cookout at Emily, Jon, and Kylie's place. Halle was so tired from all of the weekend's events so we had to leave early and put her to bed. It was a fun filled weekend though! We are so thankful for good friends here when our family is so far away.
