Today is Tracy’s birthday, and we had lots of fun celebrating tonight. I thought I’d share Tracy’s birthday card first since I’m linking it to the new (and timely) Addicted to CAS challenge: Lucky!
It’s another inlaid die with a shamrock sticker I found at Michael’s.
Both the die cut and the sentiment underneath are from Simon Says, “Happy.” Papertrey’s New Leaf card stock is the perfect color for St. Patrick’s Day, and I’m always drawn to a bright green and black combination.
When I went to set the table I was surprised to find I had no green placemats. The last couple of years we haven’t been home for Tracy’s birthday, but I found great bright green ones on sale at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
I found some lucky gold coins at Michaels. Skylar gathered them all up after dinner and put them in the toy box!
Matt, Betsy, and Skylar came for dinner. After we ate, we did Face Time with Sarah, Adam, and Caleb on the iPad. Technology is just the best!
Skylar and Caleb started showing one another their cars. It went on for quite some time.
Afterwards we had dessert. Tracy had banana cream pie (his favorite) but I also bought some cupcakes for the rest of us so we’d have something to put birthday candles on. I was holding the cupcakes for the blowing out of candles so there are no photos of the event.
And opened up gifts.
Initially Skylar wanted no photos on the way out.
But she relented, and Grandma was grateful!
Happy Birthday to Tracy – looks like it was a wonderful day! So awesome to have technology so we can visit with family near & far!
Happy Birthday Tracy. It looks like you had a wonderful evening Karen, and Skylar is just beautiful.
Your card is beautiful and all your food looks delicious:) xx
A happy St Patrick’s Birthday to him!
We could have done with some of those cupcakes round here. They look amazing!
Tracy has a beautiful smile. Happy Birthday Tracey! And I thought “the hand” didn’t start until the tween years… amazing that it has already been mastered by a two year old. But what a gorgeous shot you got when she decided to play along! The cupcakes look quite yummy too.
P.S. sorry I keep putting that “e” in Tracy’s name. Force of habit when I’m typing quickly.
Looks like he had a wonderful birthday meal….and the cupcakes are perfect.
Happy Birthday to Tracy! Gorgeous photos!!
Oh that little Skylar is just the cutest thing! It sounds like she is so entertaining in the mix of your celebrations for Tracy’s birthday dinner. Isn’t Facetiming the best? I have loved using it for getting peeks at my new baby niece.
Happy belated birthday to your guy!
The black and green look perfect together on your card. I like how the black takes center stage and the green is more of an accent. Very unexpected but it really works! Thanks for sharing with us at ATCAS. 🙂
Fabulous card and what a wonderful party. Thank you for making me smile! So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week
