Party Pics


Who knew that it would take 9 adults to pull off a birthday party for 2 one year olds???!!! I am so glad I had such good help! Yesterday afternoon Wesley started feeling a little under the weather fever, chills, upset tummy...needless to say he wasn't able to do much to help set up. I am sure most of you are thinking how much stuff do you really need for a 1st birthday?? Well if any Jefcoat woman is involved (and there were 3)you need a lot...Jefcoat Philosophy...if you're going to throw a party go big or go home! We had tables, chairs, blankets, beach buckets, flowers, beach balls, kiddie pools, decorations, table cloths, serving pieces, lots of food and that wasn't the half of it! I think it took a 6x12 trailer and 4 cars to get everything to the clubhouse! Thanks so much Doc, Cheri, Aunt Lani and Uncle Brian, Gran, Daddy Day and Aunt Maggie for all of your help setting up, taking down, cooking and cleaning...whew what a busy 24 hours!
The party was great. The babies were so good...we could only rent the clubhouse/pool from 9:30-11 which of course falls right in the middle of the babies nap time, but like I said they were soooo good! Not one little cry came out of them. This is what our Saturday looked like...
Wake up before the babies, get dressed and get as much last minute stuff done as possible.
Change, feed and dress babies.
Head to pool and "finish" putting everything together.
Party starts at 9:30.
Open gifts, take pictures, swim in every pool we have(5 total), sing Happy B'day, make a mess with the cake, get a water hose bath in the kiddie pool, party over...
11:15 Nap time for the babies and clean up for the parents, grandparents, and aunts...yuck!
Lunch at our house.
Time to put all of the new toys together...playhouse, wagon, basketball goal...thanks so much Uncle Brian, Aunt Lani and Daddy Day!!
Babies wake up...open more presents.
Play in wagon and playhouse and nap again...whew it is exhausting turning one!!!
We had a wonderful day and the rain held off until it was time for our families to leave. The only thing that could've made the day better was if mommy had gotten a nap! I am still putting gifts and leftover food away! Ok I know we went over board, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll have more pics soon...Cheri has a lot more on her camera. Thanks so much to all of you for being such a special part of these sweet babies lives.
