Birthday girls

The girls' birthdays fall right as school starts.   We have family parties, friends parties and our parties.

Here are the parties as they went down!!!

  Unfortunately that means that the pool is closed when it is b-day time.  Last year we decided to celebrate Addie's birthday early so she could have a pool party.  It was perfect.  Going late after and early evening...the pool is emptier and we get the place to ourselves!!  

Addie wanted a minion party.  So we had a group of minions!!!

Snack time minion!

The minion group!!!

Birthday cake with the birthday girl!

Singing to the birthday girl...

Cousins S gave Addie Bob the minion....the perfect gift!!!

The girls swam for a couple of hours, and then we headed back to our house for pizza and hanging out.  A couple of girls stayed over night.  It was a great party and I can hardly believe that she is nine now!!

We had a family party for both girls the end of August.  Here are a few pictures from that party.

In true Lauren fashion, she decided she wanted to have a Superhero Art Party.  So we did our best to make that happen!!  Her friends came dressed as super heroes which was really fun!!!

Then they all worked on an art project, painting a canvas of their first name initial.

They all did a great job painting.  They truly were super excited about seeing each other and wanted to play!!!

Here were the rest of the girls painting.

Lauren's birthday cake.....the girl is six years old which seems impossible!!
