Party Picture Post

So in this scenario, I would normally say something like “I apologize in advance for posting waaaaay too many pictures!” But I can’t! Dekker’s party was so much fun and there are so many things to remember. These photos are all courtesy of my mom, as I completely forgot to even pull out my camera! Who can blame me, really. I was totally wrapped up in everything else! So, I hope you have lunch in your lap or something to do while you you look through this enormous post. Enjoy!

Funny story. Dekker was given rubber boots that have made their way through all Born families. Rosie and Izzy had filled the toes with candies. When we unwrapped the gift, Brady's first comment was "Don't mix them up! We'll each get one!" Gotta keep it even, right honey?
