Scenes from The Weekend -- Millie's Cowgirl Shindig

I finally got to use the Fuji Instax Mini Bryan got me for my birthday (photos above), and I am in love...

It was another super mellow weekend (I could seriously get used to this)... Other than a yummy dinner on Friday with our friends Julie and Tim (baked pasta courtesy of Julie) and family movie night on Saturday (all four of us crammed on the couch + a big blanket + popcorn = a pretty much perfect evening), it was all about party prep for Millie’s festivities on Sunday.

Despite a small dose of three-year old defiance (Millie refused to wear the pink suede cowgirl vest bought just for the occasion for more than 5 minutes, opting instead for a sparkly faux-sequined monstrosity dredged up from the bottom of the dress-up bin, but hey it was her party right?), the party was a rousing success.

we managed to get one shot of Millie in her vest posing with Audrey + lovely cousin Erin...



Patsy Cline was on heavy rotation, and the kiddos donned their cowboy hats, played pin the tail on the donkey and took a few whacks at the horsey piñata (sometimes the basics are the best, no?)…although Millie did proclaim numerous times that she was going to "beat the horse with a stick" (note to self, next time get an inanimate object piñata because that’s just, well, kinda sad.)

I also got to finally break in my new little Fuji Instax Mini for the party -- I love this thing so much, I’m going to have to set aside a whole seperate fund for film this year...

Hope your weekend was lovely!
