Passy Party, Take 2

Passy Party originated in Lubbock, Texas in December 2004 when Mary Alice turned 2. While I LOVE passies and really push them on my babies, there is nothing worse (to me) then seeing an older child with a passy. So I was determined that Mary Alice would not have a passy after she turned 2 yrs. old. And you know how you are with your first child......so we had a "passy party" right when she turned 2. We rounded up her passy's...threw them in the trash and took them out to the dumpster in our alley and said good-bye. Mary Alice LOVED her passy, and Steve and I thought the next week of our life would be horrible. Surprisingly it went really well, Mary Alice did great!



Today (three years later..which is sooo hard to believe) we had Passy Party number 2. Charlie is 2yrs 4mo old, and while I thought Mary Alice LOVED her passy, Charlie has taken it to a different level. So we are a little worried as to how this week of our life might play out...I guess only time will tell.



So today was the day! Charlie's Passy Party! Just like we did with Mary Alice we rounded up all the passies in the house/car and placed them in a basket. We looked everywhere: under beds, couchs, pillows.











When we were done collecting the passies, we took the basket to the trash and let charlie throw the passies one by one into the trash. With each passy that he through in the trash the family yelled "Hip, Hip Horray". He loved it!











Then he and daddy sacked up the trash, tied it up and took it outside to the trash.









Then back inside to the best part of all...CUPCAKES! (From the Chessecake Factory!)









YUMMMMMM!!!!






Charlie could not wait! He took a nose dive into his cupcake!




Then it was back to playing with his Trains! All is well....for now at least!







Here are some pics from Mary Alice and her Passy Party! What a difference 3 years makes! I cannot believe how fast she is growing! Where does time go?
