Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Oh my word!!! On Saturday, we hosted a "Rainbow" Party for Jillian's 3rd and Rocco's 1st birthday!! Let me break it down for you in numbers....

over 12 lbs of brisket
over 3 lbs of sausage
three bags of chicken nuggets
three bags of tator tots
potato salad
beans
cream corn
broccoli bean salad
lbs and lbs of fruit
96 cupcakes
2 bags of M&Ms

and 49 people at our house!!!!! It was INSANE!! But Saturday night as Jillian was falling asleep in my arms, she told me "Mommy, I loved my birthday party!" So it was all worth it!!!

We are sooooo exhausted and both kids are now very sick! booo!!!

Here is what my Mom and I worked so hard to create.....



A close up of our cupcake tower...



Our painting table...


The birthday girl in her "custom-made" rainbow outfit!!! My friend Jaime made both of the kids' outfits!



The birthday boy in his rainbow #1 shirt! The birthday boy only had eyes for his Poppy during the party. Poppy's arms are very sore from holding him the whole time!!


I promise to post more pictures later!! Both kids have fevers, both are super snotty, Jillian has a rash, and on and on. Kids are sleeping right now, and we go to the Doc at 11:30.

That is an insane amount of food and people, but an insanely cute party too!! I LOVE that table spread. Adorable! I hope the kids get to feeling better soon.
