Laney and Kendall's Big Adventure

Let's Party

We pretty much have every family celebration in the last two months of the year. It gets hectic. I was very late in planning Laney's party. Luckily my fantastic Aunt Susan stepped in and helped with (i.e. did) the decorations. We did a rainbow theme and I thought it turned out really cute. I am a bad blogger and totally forgot to take a picture of the candy bar.

Naturally, the best part of the day was that Laney had a fantastic time with her friends and so did we.

Kendall was so interested in Will. She could not stop hugging him. She literally got into his car seat with him so she could give him more hugs before he went home.

Always a sucker for a theme, Laney found her rainbow tutu to rock during the party
