Our First Party at Our New House!

Also over Labor Day weekend, we had much to celebrate so we had our first party at our new house.  It was a Housewarming/Baptism/Birthday/Engagement extravaganza complete with our entire family and all our friends, too!

We had great food, almost entirely prepared by my Mom.  And everyone pitched in to help decorate and clean up.  Thank goodness because I really could have not had a party this big without the love and support from our family.  I must say, we really do know how to have a good party!

Jilly and I took a quick photo break in the middle of our party.  

As I said, we had much to celebrate.  So we had a cookie cake for Mike and Jen.  But the party was just too much for Lauren because she passed out halfway through the festivities!

But in no time, she was awake and playing with her cousin and new friend, Jackson!  I think these kids are pretty darn cute!

Next we had cake for Jillian's baptism and birthday cakes for all the August/September birthdays!

We also had cookies for guests to take home as a thank you for attending Jilly's baptism.  They were cute cookies that my mom had made in El Paso.

The entire party was perfect! When the sun was up, we had the tables set up inside and at one point, we had a packed house!  Once the sun set, all the men moved outside to enjoy the weather and smoke their cigars and enjoy their spirits. 

The party lasted until 2 in the morning, and I am so glad that we took the next day off of work!  We had a great time and can't wait to do this again sometime!
