Racing Family

Aaron's new company participated in a 5K on Saturday evening for the city of Alpharetta's Rotary Club.  It had rained nearly all day and we weren't sure if they would really go through with it or not.  I got the kids dressed in pants and jackets (is it really August in the South this summer?) ready for a soggy ride.
We met up with the team from his office and it was nice to have a chance to meet some of these new folks Aaron is working with now.


We thought we might leave early if the rain continued, but we found ponchos to put over the kids and decided to hang in there with the team.  Sarah Graves was excited for a race!
When the race started, something strange came over Aaron and me and we began to run.  We were with the pack and running along like we actually do more exercise than playing with two small kids!  I found myself laughing because who waits until a 5K to decide they might run a bit!  That lasted for nearly a mile and then we hit a long uphill stretch and were reminded that we aren't runners!  
Then, we really got back to ourselves and noticed a pizza place along the route and decided to steer our strollers in for a pizza dinner (he promised Sarah Graves we would get pizza for dinner and it was already after 8).  

We left Charlie's bib in the car and had to make do with him wearing Sissy's!  He makes a cute girl!  We enjoyed our pizza and left quickly since the natives were restless!  It was a fun evening.  I don't think we will take up running any time soon, but you never know...

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
