Xmas in July has come and gone

Birthday week was a great time; however, Xmas in July was AWESOME. We had such a good time. It took a lot of work to put on a themed birthday party, but it did pay off as everyone seemed to have a good time. We had a Charlie Brown Xmas tree with large presents around it. Andy hung Xmas lights in the back and we hung paper lanterns in the shape of Xmas candies. I put holiday beach balls in the pool and we had Xmas food. The best part is that Andy’s mom, Laura, made Xmas cookies and sent them to us in a cooler from Wisconsin. That was awesome. People loved the cookies she sent us; however, I did have to admit to the guests that we did not make them and I don’t think people would have believed me anyways if I did claim to be a superstar cookie maker. Andy and I spent most of the day on Friday and all of Saturday morning decorating and cooking for the party. It was a good time and Andy was such a trooper since theme parties are just not his thing. Friends started arriving around 1:30 and stayed until 9:30pm, but we did have a couple stragglers who stuck around until midnight…I think that was to sober up. I thought clean up was going to be difficult the next day, but it definitely was not. I will admit I could not get out of bed so Andy cleaned up the backyard and the kitchen all by the time I did get my butt out of bed. He is such a great guy! Here is a link to Snapfish of the pictures I took. If you don't have a snapfish account you will have to create one to view the pictures. Enjoy!
