My oh so talented friend, Allison, designed the invite (I blurred out our address at the bottom).

The envelope liner :)

My fabulous friend, Lucy, made the shirts for the boys.  Beyond adorable!

And now for the decor...

There were smiley face magnets for the parents of the babies and goodie bags for the little kiddos.

I displayed all 12 months of his pics on the china cabinet.

Mark put together a slideshow on our Apple TV of all of Oliver’s cute pics from the past year.

Instead of gifts, we asked for donations for the Children’s Safety Center.  I work on their fundraising committee each year.  We received $200 in donations today!

Mark smoked 20 lbs of pork for the party (cute apron, huh?).  Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Time to party!

Oliver with his mini me, Seger.

There were 10 babies here, one on the way, plus all of the older siblings!

Mark setup the trampoline and bouncy house in the garage for all of the bigger kiddos.  You gotta improvise when you have a Winter birthday!  Thank goodness for a big garage and insulated garage doors.

Cake, please!!

He started out slow...

but boy did he ever lay into it!  That boy can put away some cake!

Oh my!!!

I love the spectators!

After cake, the Elliott triplets arrived!  Their parents were out of town but their Aunt and Gigi were so nice to bring them by.  Sweet Brooks and Knox with Allison.

Princess Ava...she is the only girl out of all of these boys!

Look at this little ham!  He had the best time at his party!!

Look out...it is part of Fayetteville High’s future football team plus one cute cheerleader!

The party was just the best time ever.  The babies all played in the “baby room” and the bigger kids bounced away in the garage.  I love days like today where we get together and celebrate these little miracles and just enjoy life.  We are so blessed to have such awesome friends and we can’t wait to watch all of these little honeys grow!

At the end of the day, I put my sweet birthday boy to bed and thanked the good Lord above for blessing me beyond measure.


This tired Momma is off to bed!

Allison and Brooke gave me this idea from Pinterest.  It was my most favorite decoration!
