Party in the USA

I love that song by Miley Cyrus for some reason. 

Anyway, this post isn't about Miley Cyrus, it's about the number of birthday parties that Mallory is invited to these days.  It seems like Mallory has been to more birthday parties in her short 18 months of life than I went to in my entire childhood.  Don't get me wrong, I think parents go way out these days for birthday parties {I'm guilty too} where as my parents & my childhood friend's parents didn't.  I remember only having two parties where I invited lots of friends.  Other than that, we just always had a family celebration {which was special too}. 

The past two Saturdays we have been to birthday parties.  Last weeks was our friend & neighbor, Miss Carter's party.  She had a Scooby Doo party for her third birthday. 

Carter's little brother, Charlie, & Mallory had fun playing together.

Such a little mama.

We dressed Mallory in a State outfit since they were playing Carolina last Saturday.  We were hoping for a win, but didn't happen :(

The birthday girl busted Scooby to get lots of candy.

It made Daddy really proud to see his little girl playing on a excavator!

Today, we headed to Wilson for my cousin Dan's little boy's birthday party.  Jackson turned 1!

There were lots of kids & toys.  Mallory had a blast.

 Yummy birthday cake

Jackson's big sister, Larken, was so sweet giving Mallory kisses!

Of course, once Mallory came across this carseat she was entertained by the buckles for a while, haha!

Birthday boy!

Mallory & Grandmother checking out her favor bag.

She toted her bag like a little old lady toting a purse.

Since it has rained nonstop all day, it was nice to get out & have something to do.  Mallory really seems to enjoy each & every birthday party we go to so I am thankful we are invited to so many & that she has so many friends already!
