Another year, another party........

Is it bad that i'm secretly hoping that PJ asks for a Chuck E Cheese birthday party next year? ;) 

Considering i've been sick for over a week, my head felt like a bowling ball, my nose ran non stop, and I had a major sinus headache....PJ's party turned out pretty well. Luckily we had great weather (although a little windy....and SUPER bright), but thank goodness it didn't rain (or hail!) this year.   A HUGE thank you to our family and friends who helped out. Since I was sick, I asked for help with baking and stuff, and didn't have to bake a single thing (thanks Mary, Ed and Jeff!)! Set up was all with the help of my best friends, my brother in laws, my sisters, my niece and Mark of course.   I know some of these pics are pretty blown out, etc, but cut me some slack....it was brighter than bright and I felt like crap...all while trying to play host, mom AND photographer ;)   I didn't mess with these much, mostly just bumping up contrast and some color......
