We're Gonna Have a Party! part II

Nadia: It's my birthday! Let's P A R T Y!!!
Val: Whoa, Nadia, I'm still setting up!Annie: Hey, I'm all dressed up! It was so cold this morning that I got to wear a blanket. (This wasn't planned even though yesterday's post mentioned dressing up Annie! I couldn't stand seeing Annie shivering in the cold so I put a blanket on her, for the first time ever!)
Annie: Nadia, I don't know if Baby Doll is coming. It looks really bad out there. Nadia: She'll come. It's her birthday tomorrow so this party is for her too.

Baby Doll: Whew, we made it! It is cold and wet out there! Look at all the snow on us.

Scout: So glad you made it, Baby Doll!Nadia: Okay, let's get the photo shoot over and start the party! Everyone has to wear silly party hats! Even you, Annie!

Annie: I guess it's not so bad, is it? I do look nice, don't I? Scout: Bobbing for apples! All right! Let me at 'em.

Scout, munching: Yummy, this is great! I can eat them all! But, I better save some for the rest.
Baby Doll: Let me try! Let me try!! Baby Doll: Blehh, Scout slobbered in the water.
Nadia: This is harder than it looked. Oh, yep, I got one!

Yummm, apple water slobbers!

Nadia: Oh oh, look at all that!

My, what a spread! Party hats and popcorn! Sweet oat cakes for us and carrot cupcakes for the humans. Apples, and bubbles and presents too!! Oh, and wine?!? Nadia: My, that cake looks good!
Nadia: How about seconds? (Considering the weather, isn't it fitting that the cakes are on a 'snowman' tray?)

Scout: I want some! I want some!! Baby Doll: See, Scout, good things come to those who wait!
Annie: Go away, Scout! You had yours!Annie: Just kidding! I still like you. Three cheers for the party girls!

Happy 26th Birthday, Nadia!
Happy 16th Birthday, Baby Doll!!

Here's a great big thanks to Jackson and Lisa for all the assistance in horse handling and photo taking! Hope you had fun too!

You really went all out! It must have been a riot having all those horses wearing party hats and dunking for apples.

I loved the way you told the story through pictures. Your captions are so much better than mine! lol!

You had me rolling with laughter with BD's comment about Scout's drool! LOL!!! SO funny!!

That was crazy fun. I'm so glad we did it, even though the weather got all wonky. I know the horses had a great time, too.

Baby Doll asked me just this morning when she could have another oat cake and go bobbing for apples again (in her own bucket with fresh water, thank you very much.) lol! :D

Love ya, my dear friend!

You two ladies are a riot. Maybe next year you should send out invitations. I'm feeling left out once again. Yesterday with Dan and Betty, now reading this.. Have you no feelings for others?? ;)

Way to have a good time.
