Looking our best...

for Sol's 'Tie' party...

We celebrated the little man's birthday this past week-end and had a great time. Everyone however, was required to wear a tie.

Who's ready for cake?


Eat'en some birthday cake

Dad and Nora showing off their ties.

One of the highlights of the party was my dad's purchase of a little gem called 'Flying Screaming Monkeys' {Yes, you read that right} It's a little stuffed toy that you can make fly through the air
{I'd be remiss, not to show you this}

He bought 3 of them, because really, each kid needs his own screaming monkey...Needless to say we had a blast {all the while the house sounded like something out of the Wizard of OZ}

Sam got the hang of the flying mammal plush toy


Dad's a pro at working the flying monkeys business

Grandma Vicki getting in on the action...letting er' fly...


The birthday boy playing with his gifts

A good time was had by all.


Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to a kid who brings us so much joy.
We love you.

{Thank you to all who came and made the day special}

Awe! Such a neat idea with the ties! Even Nora!

I've never heard of the monkeys. That's one toy that would find itself "lost" after one day I'm afraid!

Oh my goodness, Kath! We have TWO of those exact screaming monkeys. Every time they go off they about give me a heart attack. Probably one of the most obnoxious things ever...but my girls would kill me if I threw them out. So I hide them! :)

Happy Birthday to sweet Sol!! xoxo

My boys just put the monkeys on their want list.

I love your party theme! Nothing cuter than sweet little Nora in a tie. :)

What a cutie idea! (At first, I thought it was a tie dye party)

Best wishes to the little man!

Yes, Tara, that's a great idea. :)

Laughing so hard Cass. I can just see Claire getting into it. They are totally obnoxious. But too funny!

Laurie I know where you can get three of them :)

Thank you Randi!

Nora can in fact pull off the tie look :)

Ohh Grace, the tie dye theme is tucked in the arsenal. Thank you friend.

Thank you ladies!
