I told Cate that I would post pictures from all her birthday parties over the years...
I had no idea how big of a job this would be...
So I don't have them all... because it takes a long time to take apart the scrapbooks, scan them in, edit the photos and then put the albums back together... I don't have that kinda time today... Sorry Cate...
You will also get a chance to see some of my "mad scrapbooking skillz" from the early years of scrapbooking....
1st Birthday
We had her party at McDonald's in Livingston. MT.
2nd Birthday
Friends come over for cake & ice cream... these were taken while she was waiting for her party to begin.... I videotaped the party, so no photos... I learned my lesson about that...
(Bozeman, MT.)
3rd Birthday
We had her party at Hardee's in Bozeman, MT
I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with Sparky... I wasn't up to "hosting" anything at home....
(the year of the unfortunate "clown" incident...)
4th Birthday
Her "Barbie" Party
(That is Sparky on a friend's lap in the center/left photo)

Rollerskating Party...
We rented the whole place and had a ton of people there... unfortunately the lighting was horrible and I was so busy that I have very few good pictures of this night. If we have big party like this again I will spring for a photographer... I am very sad that we have 3 photos of this milestone event... and not even good ones...

ReplyDeleteWELCOME...to SITS! We are so happy to have you join. I'm hosting a "sweet" giveaway...come on over. :D
Aw I had a Mcdonalds Birthday too when I was little! I think I was three? Happy birthday Cate! :)
ReplyDeleteA limo! You are a rockin' mom. I need to get in gear and plan a fourth birthday party for my "big" girl. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHi...Thanks for visiting! Nice to 'meet' you too : )
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of this post and would love to do something like that for my girls birthdays. Hey, maybe its a good thing I'm years behind on scrapbooking. I've been going thru old photos and I realize we took some really bad pictures. I wonder if I can even put my hands on pictures from every birthday. My youngest turns 20 but not til Sept. If I start now I might be able to make it happen by then!
That is really cute. I love the Movie Star party! Check out that pink limo. I bet those girls had a blast. That gives me an idea for my 30th!!
ReplyDeletei like the dressup party, when the gals took home the dress :)
ReplyDeletei also like the decorate-your-own-cake thing!
hmmm, will be filing these ideas away!
:)
