Last Day of School Birthday Celebration

The last day of school was especially fun this year because it was Maysie's 6th birthday! We continued the tradition of an ice cream truck in the culdesac...along with music, bubbles and more silly string than you can imagine!

This year, Ansley and Grace were old enough to enjoy the ice cream treats...

But it was a little close to nap time so they weren't too happy when we told them they couldn't have more.

These two were counting the minutes until everyone cleared out of the culdesac so the pool party could begin!

William and Jake are going to be mad at me one day for these pictures....but honestly, who can resist a mermaid tail?

This year, we decided to let each family be in charge of appetizers and drinks for an hour.  The Coxes won for the most creative with their Hawaiian theme.

This picture sums up the night....school's out for summer!!!!

Maysie's 6th Birthday

Maysie's bowling birthday party was a blast but trying to manage 20 kids without Paul made it impossible to take pictures with my "real" camera....so the Iphone pictures will have to do!  

The highlight of Maysie's day had to be when she went into the ticket machine.  This has always been a dream for BOTH of my girls...it's the little things.

The staff was amazing and Jenn and Grant stayed too to help manage the chaos.  She acted indifferent about the balloon hat but I could tell that she was loving being the center of attention.

A few friends came to our house afterwards to watch Maysie open presents....

It looks like Marlene and Jenny were exhausted from leaving their kids with me and going next door to eat, drink and be merry:)

Next party...better pictures....promise.
