I ♥ NY

During Luke's birthday dinner back in January, Adilynn wanted to talk about what kind of birthday party she would be having...Mike suggested a "rock" party. Rock- as in stone, pebble, boulder - he suggested making pet rocks, rock candy...from there grandma took it to the Rockettes, maybe Rockefeller Center. Needless to say, Adilynn wasn't happy with his suggestion until I said "take him up on it, that's in NY"

The rock thing didn't stick, but NYC sure did. Of, course the budget didn't allow for plane tickets to Manhattan....we were left to find the way to bring NYC to us. After many brainstorming sessions with our NYC guru this was what we came up with...

We decked the house out in NYC decor,
{thanks Ang}
complete with the cityscape on the wall.
{thanks Chaddy}



The girls {and boy} came dressed for a night out on the town....


There was NYC pizza for dinner...

Shopping for souvenirs...
{again, thanks Ang}

Sightseeing...
{again, thanks Chaddy}
and a show...
{might as well have been Broadway}


And what trip to NYC would be
complete without cupcakes?
Happy 7th Birthday, Adilynn!

I am not sure how you guys come up with such awesome party ideas! It is amazing to me! Lainey had sooo much fun! I am glad that they got to spend time together! Lainey thinks Adi is fabulous! She must have more NY in her than you know. With her love of fashion and stuff!! haha We sure love Adi! Where does time go? She was just a chubby little tiny baby! Now a grown-up first grader! So beautiful!
