After party events..

The fun did not stop once everyone left.  Uncle JJ and La La, played with the kids for hours on the slip-n-slide and they had a blast (and they felt it the next day).

IMG_5764 Yes, that is Uncle JJ flying over the slip-n-slid pool.

Then it was family fun the next day.  The four of us had a blast racing down the slide and laughing together.

Under the Sea with Mermaid Kayla

June 18th @ 10:30am the party began.  2 water slides, 18 adults, 22 kids, and 42 water balloons.  The party was a success. (besides the dolphin balloons floating off as soon as I tied them to the fence). 

It was really fun thinking of fun foods and different Under the Sea decorations…Fish and Chips, Salt Water Taffy, Seaweed Dip, Seaside Cupcakes w/ Sea Turtles and Jelly Fish, Sunken Hidden Treasure with goodies for all the kids and Soap Bags with Floating Fish.

Besides having two water slides and the pool, the kids also enjoyed a balloon popping game…girls versus boys. The kids raced to the chair to try and pop their water balloon.

The slip and slide was the big hit.  The kids (and adults) had a blast slipping and sliding…

A great party with friends and family makes the hard work worth it all.  Hope you had a great birthday Kayla!

To my little mermaid…

Congratulation on your birthday!!! You’re now 5 years old but it was like only yesterday that you came out to this world and added so much joy and love to my life.  A day never goes by that I don’t give thanks to God for you and the joy you have brought to my life.  Yes there are days that we butt heads (maybe because we are so much alike…at least that is what Daddy says) but I know that we will always be close and you will always have a special place in my heart...my little mermaid. 

I’m very proud of you.  You are so smart, so generous and so loving.  You can always count on me to support and guide you along the way.

I thank God that you are a healthy and a happy little girl.  I love you and Happy 5th birthday “my little mermaid ” God bless you always.

With love,

Mommy

A Wild Time at Safari Champ

One party down and one to go…For Christian’s third birthday, we had 19 wild little animals running around and enjoying a fun time at Safari Champ.   Christian had a great time.  The smile on his face when all the kids sang Happy Birthday to him was priceless.  The BIG kiss and hug and THANK YOU made all the work and long hours the night before all worth it.

The night before the party Barbara (Jon’s mother) and I stayed up until 2:30 making the alligator cupcake cake for the kids and the cake balls for the mothers.  They turned out great.  (Thank you Barbara.)

Christian was not real happy with my centerpieces.  He did not want his zebra and elephant lost.  I reassured him that they would be ok.

The kids enjoyed everything.  Thank you to all that attended and made Christian’s 3rd birthday very special.
