Cowgirl Birthday Party

Faith had a very special birthday party. It had a cowgirl theme. We did a campfire and roasted hot dogs. The biggest excitement were the horses!! The girls both got to ride a horse for the first time. Thanks to Mike McClelland a family friend and client of my dads for bringing the horses! Here is the party in pictures, this is only a small fraction of how many were taken!!
Grandma & Faith ride their "horses."
Titus checks out the horse.
The table scape- this cowboy boot was Jeremy's Papas.
My gang.
The birthday girl- she looks SO grown up!
The beautiful big sister, who was working hard to learn to enjoy her sisters birthday. After a pep talk from mom she still concluded, "No, I like to be the birthday girl."
Waiting for the horses to unload.
Grace was very brave, she wanted Papa to let go of the rope so she could go further than this square (my parent's lot).
Faith's horse was a bit more excitable.
Grace shares her horse with Jo Jo.
My little cow man.
Faith rewarding her horse with a treat.
Uncle Cody checks out Grace's boots.
The girls at their own little table.
Nana helps feed Titus. I'm guessing he was getting to flip his plate on the ground.
Faith unwraps her big girl car seat, wrapped like a horse.
Thank you Nana, I love my computer!
Making smores.
The pink vase was what the flowers Jeremy sent to me when Faith was born were in.Yummy!
The big 3.
Our girls are SO blessed-look at all those gifts!
My two men.
Faith's cake-my first attempt at fondant.
Roasting hot dogs. (Don't buy the bun length ones they are too long- learn from my mistakes! Many hot dogs ended up in the fire. Opps!)
Faith's favorite gift her pink lap top.
Papa decorated the tree with balloons and lights- so cute!
