Celebrating Birthdays










Hannah and Kristen celebrated their birthdays this year on different days. Partly because they each wanted a different party and different friends. Hannah had a Beach Barbie Birthday. Her best friends Anna and Caity-Beth came, plus her sisters. She wanted to have a simple birthday, play in a little pool and have sand beside it for the Barbie's beach area. We had snacks, beach cake and ice cream. It was a hot day but we had a cool breeze and consumed lots of lemonade. She loved it!

Kristen on the other hand had a Spy Kids birthday party. We watched Spy Kids movie, played spy games, wrote spy notes on paper and ate the paper (special paper we ordered from the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C.). Most of the things we got were from the Spy Museum. They had big gumballs like the kids on Spy Kids movie and sprayed each other with Silly String until it started to rain and used their glow stick necklaces to see outside. We ate pizza and had cake and ice cream. She wished she could have played spies outside more and have her Daddy chase them but it was raining. Maybe next year.

Emma had a Littlest Pet Shop pool party. She loves to play with Littlest Pet Shops! They kids swam in the pool for an hour. Then we ate pizza, opened gifts, and had cake and ice cream. It was VERY hot outside, but the kids didn't mind. Since Emma got a bunch of Littlest Pet Shops for her birthday the girls played with them near the end of the party. Kelson was sick so my friend Kristi offered to come over and help since it was on a Friday in the middle of the day and Pete wasn't here. She was a saint taking care of Kelson and helping were she could.
