A Party Fit For A Queen

I've been so busy sitting here editing pictures from Sammy's (one of Camden's girlfriends) first birthday today that I almost forgot to post tonight!

The party was held on base in the non-air-conditioned Pavillion, which in today's 500 degree weather made for a pretty good large scale toaster oven. But it was a really cute little circus themed party with popcorn bags, circus peanuts and a smash-cake that looked like a giant Sno-Cone. Of course everything in shades of pink and purple. 

Birthday shopping for little girls always gives me shell shock. I don't think there is anything more alarming than those bright pink aisles. It's all so complicated and full of accessories. I'm far too used to my familiar vehicle, Lego and action figure aisles. Luckily, first birthdays are easy and all she wanted was beach toys. Perfect.

The base pavillion is really awesome in that it has it's own playground so we can just the older gets go while all the parents and babies stayed inside in the shade. Calen got to make his own cupcake with sprinkles, marshmallows and cotton candy. Because what good is sugar unless it's coated with more sugar? Just sayin'.  

Camden says "Who needs a refill?"

Poor Caminator didn't last long at his lady friend's party due to the heat (and due to mean Mommy's waking him up so he can make it to said party) so we had to take him home and give him a second nap. Calen walked in the door and promptly put on his swimsuit and spent the next 3 and a half hours outside in the pool with neighbor buddy Kyle.

Thank God for the heat! My kid never wants to go inside! I managed to weed the entire front garden this afternoon while they played. 

One more of the birthday girl. How can you not love that sweet face?
