Paxton's Hoe Down was a huge success and we all had a blast! We held the party at Serenbe, and there were about 65/70 people there from 4 different states! He is one loved kiddo! The location was fantastic, and perfect for the kids! Brad and Papa smoked the meat for the home made barbeque sandwiches, and it was delicious!

The party was complete with 2 hayrides-1 for the kiddos, and 1 for the adults!:-) Paxton and the rest of the kids loved the horses, and then we went to the petting zoo part. Pax was not scared of any of the animals, and was especially fond of the goats! I tried to talk Pops into getting him one! Hahaha!

The second hayride didn't get back until around 6 and there weren't any kids left, except Reagan, at this point to pop the pinata. So, they got a lot of candy! Then, we cleaned up and decided to open presents. It was just family and Caroline left, and it was fun to sit there and open all the wonderful gifts with family! Pax had a blast going from present to present, and every toy he got, he would say, "need abre". So funny. When he got to clothes, he would throw them over his shoulder as he dug to the bottom of the bag hoping for something else. It ended up that we didn't leave until 7:45 and were supposed to be out of the room at 6. Good thing no one kicked us out!

It was a pretty amazing party for a pretty amazing kid! Thank you to everyone that made Paxton's 2nd birthday so special!
