Celebrating 5!

We had the girls' birthday party yesterday. Olivia requested Cinderella and Emma requested Ariel this year. We can't seem to get away from the princess theme...oh well...one day I'll probably be wishing for the princess theme to come back :-) Once again, Nana answered the requests with BEAUTIFUL cakes!

Look how big these two are getting!

It rained on us again this year so we were forced to have an indoor party. We kept the kids confined to the playroom which did help with the crowd control. Here are the girls eating their dinner.

We kept the smaller kids upstairs for dinner to contain the mess. Here's Marcus eating his dinner...hamburgers! YUMMY!

Cake time! Here are some of the kids. Everyone sang Happy Birthday and the girls blew out candles. Nice Job!

A few more pictures while Nana cuts the cake. This is Jonny, Deanna, Olivia, Emma, Makayla and Isabella.

This is Bella. She is the little sister to Makayla. She followed me around wanting her picture taken...she had this great little pose. Her parents said she never lets people take her picture...she did great for me :-)

The cake was approved by Marcus. He didn't leave one little bit on his plate...it was clean!

The girls got lots of great presents again this year. One of the Mom's made these cute headbands for them.

and another friend found their names in wood! So cute!

It was a great time had by all.

The party blowers were a hit with Poppi, Papa and Marcus.

Here are the daycare girls. They will all be entering kindergarten in the fall and unfortunately they are all going to different schools. Hopefully we can still maintain these friendships though; these girls have been inseparable the last 3 years!

After everyone left Olivia had all of her new toys around her. She LOVED everything!

Marcus did very well, we just gave him jobs to do and he didn't seem to mind that he wasn't celebrating a birthday too. At the end of the night it was really quite so I went searching for Marcus. I found him in the girls' room doing activity books...what a good boy! I think he just needed some alone time after the house full of chaos. I didn't really blame him :-) Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate yet another birthday! We always have a ton of fun and love having everyone there!
