Can you have too many birthdays? No way when you’re 11!

The official Tatum Hay 11th year old birthday party arrived today! January 20, 2024

OH and I was nervosa! Why? Because the WHOLE week prior, Tatum had the flu, and just yesterday, I had a fever. WE prayed and prayed for miracle healing.

Well, I woke up feeling a bit better, and Tatum seemed fine. In fact, I walked into her room expecting her to be sleeping because she wanted to “sleep in” today. She was playing pretend with her pictures (with Rio of course!)

After our morning hug, I took out Coopy and this God art welcomed my morning.

Yes, God is in this place.

Tatum’s gifts to all the kids was a mini video game, but she included a gratitude card in each envelope. Liam, Vivian, Felicity, Hayden.

I made her a fun little brekkie with triangle tortillas, peanut butter, blackberries and a weeeeeee bit of coffee. HEE!

We headed to Glow Putt Golf to meet our friends!

Hayden, Felicity and Vivian came, and we waited for Liam. HI LIAM!

Ok< PUTT PUTT GO!!! I’m going home to meet Pita Jungle and Daddy’s going to hang with the kids.

I love you Bumby!

This year, I was all about convenience, and Pita Jungle came to the rescue.

Now, I bought some yummy pita wraps, and do you think the kids ate anything? Hmmmm??

Well, a few chips and a couple tablespoons of hummus went on a couple of plates and that was it. Srsly? They wanted to PLAY!

OK! But you know what? They had so much fun, and since it was so cold, the party migrated inside.

Cooper got involved in the floor games, and that made him so happy!
Now, Tatum did not want any type of cake cupcake cookie or baked good. NOPE! It was to be a sundae bar!!!

Happy BIRTHDAY !!!!!!

OH the joy of control! (in the amount of whipped cream, right!?

AND>>>> THE JOY! She hasn’t had dairy in ages, and she said, “IT’S WORTH IT, MOMMY!”
Can you tell?

Tatum gave little gifts to everyone, and Hayden just loved it!

I was so impressed with the kindness of each child. EACH ONE looked me in the eye and thanked me. They were so polite. She has wonderful taste in friends.

Later, we hit Barnes and Noble so she could spend her gift cards, and then it was play time!

One of her gifts from GLOW PUTT was this sword. She wants to fight off the bad guys! HA!
Daddy? NO way, she’s defending for HIM! Such a good daughter. HEE!

Watch out, Daddy, he’s on your belly! ZWAPPP!!!

The day ended with HEDGE HUGS.

I love you. We love you. WE ALL LOVE YOU, LOVEBUG!
