Alicia was kind enough to invite us to Nora's 1st birthday party...uhm, like 2 weeks ago. Yes, I realize she's nearly 2 now, but whatever - I've got funny stories to tell...
The theme was lady bugs & in true Alicia McAfee style, she went all out. I love that about her. I hate details & crap like that & she leaves NO detail out! (Including red buckets for the food to which she glued black cotton balls. Really?!)
Here's the party planner with a lady bug face mask. (And that is NOT one of her children. There were so many babies here I nearly broke out in hives. I tried to be diligent to not let the mommies breath in my direction or accidentally drink after one of them...)
The birthday girl! Shame on you if you thought Nora wouldn't match the theme. That tutu was TOO cute & the bow was huge.
There were lots of little boys at the par-tay. And they were wound.up. Running, yelling & doing little boy stuff...
Jake tried on the lady bug mask too!
Gabe kept acting like he was going to touch the cake. His mother had a watchful eye on him & told him to stop. (Then I told him to do it again for just one more second so I could take a pic...)
I don't know who did this - but this is genius. Mazden sat in this bucket of toys for-ever. She was quiet, she was playing & she was safely away from those rowdy, loud boys.
This cake was adorable!
Nora dived right into her cake. It was a disgusting mess. She was also drinking milk. Uh, I hate milk. I don't drink it, I don't like it to touch me. GAG. So the picture ya'll don't get to see is the one of Nora with a long, disgusting trail of milk drool hanging out of her mouth...and her mother (my friend, by the way) acting like she was going to wipe it on me. Good times...
Alicia switched into teacher mode & assigned us all jobs while Nora opened presents. My job was to video so I didn't get many pics. But it was a tough job because the kids were really excited to see presents.
I usually like to try & stay to help Alicia clean up. I mean, that's the least I can do for my friend who tries to wipe disgusting milk drool on me. THIS is what I found in the sink. Oh, the humanity. Look at the water pooled there at the bottom. Look at the cup of milk just waiting to make me barf.
And that poor, poor lady bugs behind. Tragic.

ha ha ha! I only tried to wipe the milk drool on you because I love you!! You freaking out over the cake in the sink we great! I kinda wanted to rub it on you. JK! :)
Jaime, the look on your face was priceless when Alicia tried to wipe the milk drool on you!I have milk drool on my shoulders and clothes on a daily basis.It is really bad when you are holding the baby on your lap and they spit on you when they burp and it goes through your jeans!! LOL Love ya!
I've been looking forward to your take on the party. Always good! Man alive it's a good thing you were never at my house between Sept 2010 and May 2011. You would have seen lots and lots and lots of milk drool.
After Gabriel was born, I got my hair cut off because I always smelled like spoiled milk. It was from having him up on my should and him drooling/spitting milk in my hair. Good stuff!
That cake mess was NO BIGGIE! I've cleaned up WAY bigger messes than that! It's what moms do . . . we clean messes . . . constantly. There is no mess a momma can't handle. Haha!
Glad you enjoyed the party!
Remember when you did that jewelry show and Tracey was there with Maggie, who at the time was an infant. Anyways, remember how Maggie threw up HER ENTIRE BOTTLE.....I bet you must have wanted to DIE. I didn't realize you had such a problem with milk/drool/spit up, hahahahaha. Funny stuff, Jaime Mac!! Love it!
OH MY WORD, JAIME! I was cracking up throughout the entire post! I did NOT know your deal with milk! I thought about the exact story that G did...when Maggie threw up! And, you were so kind to me. I bet the whole time you really wanted to run screaming! HA! Great story! Now, I've got to run and read Alicia's post...
