Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend. We had a fun cookout for Phillip's birthday yesterday. We were so busy visiting with everyone that we didn't take pictures once company arrived, but here are some pictures of getting things ready.

I set out most of the serving dishes ahead of time.

Aren't birthdays fun?! Kylen's birthdays are our biggest event of the year! I began blogging just after his last birthday, so I've never blogged about any of them, but I think it will be a fun post when I do! I would love to be a party planner! LOL! :-)
