If there are two things I love dearly they would be road trips that include my husband and our puppy dogs and strawberry cake! Having both of these favorites is certainly the sign of a pretty fabulous day!
Well, this past weekend Honey and I loaded up the dogs and took a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama for our niece’s second birthday party! My sister-in-law T is a fabulous party planner and always manages to pull off the cutest parties for her girls. Here are a few pictures of our day including the too-cute set up and our sweet nieces!

I'm not sure what Cash saw but I love that face! |

The party set up |
I love the lollipop ball - lollipop's stuck into a styrofoam ball! The beautiful (and delicious) cake had lollipop shaped icing on top! Chocolate covered pretzel sticks were a staple and the fruit cups in the cupcake tier made an attractive and healthy sweet snack!
Pink and green M&M's along with penguin shaped sugar cookies rounded out the treat table!

Honey and his nieces |
The girls always want time to play with Cash Dog! They love on him while he happily doles out big kisses and sweet snuggles. I missed capturing him kissing their faces but there will be many more opportunities to get a picture of that! He loves all of his little cousins!

He is so gentle with them! |
Everybody had a great time - road trip, dogs, strawberry cake, nieces... what could be better?!
Your pups are adorable! I love when kids aren't afraid of big dogs...we have a big dog and even though he's super loving, some kids are still afraid of him
ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh!! They are like our children :) You can see more pics of them in a post I did earlier this month - "our children have tails" - we love them so much!! Some kids are afraid of our dogs too. I guess if they aren't used to big dogs they don't know what to make of them!
DeleteWhat a fantastic lil party! Is your SIL for hire, ha ha? That's wonderful that your dogs are so good with the young kiddos -- they will be at least a little familiar with having a baby around. Our greyhound's world was rocked and I still don't think she knows how she got into this predicament, lol. But she's been patient, sweet & SO tolerant so far.
ReplyDeleteIt was fantastic and my SIL SHOULD be for hire!! She is seriously so creative with her girls parties among many other things :) That is hilarious about your greyhound! Our 3-year old puppy LOVES children and has been asking ever since we got married when we were going to get one of those little things! He even loves babies - it is precious. Now my 12 year old queen bee is definitely not going to know what is going on but she is a sweet girl and if mama likes the baby then she will like the baby :)
