That's right, a year ago March 8th we picked up Lemmon on the corner of Lemmon and McKinney Avenue. Some boys found her on the street in Paris, TX and were trying to find a home for her. For some reason we were drawn to her, picked her up, brought her with us in the car as we were on the way to Fort Worth. Gardia, Mange, Anxiety, Intestinal Issues, Hip Dysplasia later, she is still in our lives and we have a special spot in our hearts f
or her.
So after a year we did what any crazy dog owners would do and had a birthday party! I will take any excuse to throw a party - so as embarrassing as it is to admit - we had a party, I went all out and we LOVED every minute of it. I mean, really it was the perfect excuse to get our closest friends all together at the same time!
Party Highlights:
- Best Dressed: Sam - Way to go Steph on the homemade shirt!!!! You are the best!
- "Lemon" themed everything: Yellow cutlery, Sparkling Lemon water, Lemon zest in the shrimp pasta, Lemon designs on the cupcakes, etc...
- Lemmon got birthday presents - which was extremely unexpected. What sweet aunts and uncles she has! She has lots of toys that will be spaced out over the next couple of months.
- An intense game of Apples to Apples after dinner.
- Lemmon didn't snarl at anyone - she was actually super sweet.
- The Lemonhead party favors that Matt picked up at the store, along with a birthday balloon (so cute).
I love these people!
