A doggone good party.

We always enjoy celebrating birthdays at parties, so we especially enjoyed celebrating Thomas Hebert's 1st birthday. He's a sweet little boy with a charming smile. He celebrated with a dog party, complete with trick-performing dogs and everything! We had such a blast (even Robert!) and despite Mary and WIlliam's fear of dogs, they really enjoyed the dogs in the back yard.

We played "Hot Dog," like Hot Potato, then Pin the Nose on the Dog


Robert pointed out every dog in the house...multiple times.


Then, we watched 2 dogs perform tricks in the back yard. They ran through tunnels, jumped hurdles and squiggled through uprights. When they were done performing, Mary and William got to give the commands. They loved it!


We came inside to enjoy doggie snacks: Bone-shaped quesedillas, party mix, Scooby Snack crackers, and dog-shaped cookies.


The party couldn't be complete without cake, and boy was it good! The kids had doggie cupcakes and the adults enjoyed a delicious chocolate cake with sweet sweet icing. Yummy!

We certainly enjoyed all the hard work the Hebert's put into this party and we were even more excited to celebrate the first year of Thomas' life. Happy Birthday, sweet boy! We look forward to many more!

We sure had fun celebrating with you!

Mary and William astounded me with their bravery around the dogs. I could hardly believe it when William so enthusiastically raised his hand to go out and "train" the dogs.

Oh, and let me just mention to your other readers that my sweet friend Lisa is being quite modest about her role in Thomas' party. See those yummy looking dog cookies? SHE made them! She was also invaluable at the party as an extra set of hands for me; she cut the cake, wiped Thomas' face, and generally kept things running smoothly. Every hostess needs their own Lisa!
