Burdorf Birthday Party

Last weekend we made our annual trip to State Center for the kids' March birthday party. This year was pretty laid back which was fantastic! JR, Maddox, and I headed south on Friday afternoon and enjoyed an evening of relaxing with the Omaha sector of the Burdorf Family. We don't see Adam, Jill, and their girls enough so it is always great to catch up.

I even tried my first calzone at Old Chicago which was pretty good. I was proud of all 3 kids for being such good sports when it came to waiting as it was a 45 minute wait and even I was getting antsy/hungry. It was WONDERFUL getting to spend some much needed time catching up and enjoying our kids. Funny how times change, and how just getting out on a Friday night with great friends AND your kids, is considered a successful night.

Saturday morning we got up headed over to State Center for some partying. We enjoyed a delicious meal, watched present opening, and then got to dig in to the adorable cakes Jamie had made by a local cake decorator.

Jenna loves the movie "tangled" so it was fitting for her cake.

Brody loves trucks so what better than a Fire Truck?

The kids shared the spot light when it came to opening gifts and did a great job, I thought. Since I do not have a daughter (yet!) I love buying girly stuff so thankfully Jenna doesn't mind!

Miss Addison Grace all grown up!

Here all the MEN were being "manly" braving the cold an putting a sandbox together for the kids.  

Madman was pretty tuckered out so after he finally calmed down a bit, he crashed on his cousin's Dora couch. He looked too cute to pass up on this picture!

The party was a blast (as always) but the weekend seemed to go by a little too quickly... Hard to believe that at next year's party there will be 2 more little Burdorf's we get to celebrate!
