Our girls birthdays are one day apart and so this year i wanted to do something extra special for Maddie and Mia's first shared party. Maddie loves her cowboy boots and for a time she loved to watch the rodeos on tv .. so i decided it might be fun to have a cowboy party :) i have so much fun planning a party and this party was no exception ! the only bummer was that it was supposed to be at the park (since we have been having such beautiful sunny days lately) and of course the day of the party the rain came down ... oh well, we moved the party to our house and i think it was just as fun :) here are a few pictures......

The cake... i had NO idea what i was going to do for this until i just started to make it and i think it came out pretty cute ... i was happy!


Pin the tail on the pony!


cowboy/girl dress up station :)


one of the birthday girls :) i can't believe she's 1 already!


a cowboy family :) shawn loves any reason to wear his cowboy shirt! isn't he SEXY!


the other birthday girl!


i love the look on her face here when everyone was singing to them :) she was sooooo happy!


Friends :)


Mia eating her very LARGE cupcake :) i was hoping she would get way into it.. but both of my girls must be little ladies because neither of them made a mess like i was wishing for :)


we had a special visitor for the party... trigger the minature horse!! it was a hit ! what's a cowboy party without a pony?


we had such a fun day and we were so glad so many friends and family could come and spend the special day with us!! (don't we look amish?)
