Birthday party photos!

Well, our birthday pool party last Saturday was a raging success!

The weather was absolutely perfect. And we had a pool full of little kids. It made me a bit nervous trying to watch all those little ones in the water, but the kids thought it was the best day EVER! The adults relaxed on deck and just kept remarking "Holy cow, they are going to sleep tonight!". The kids literally jumped in and out of the pool for HOURS on end. It was exhausting just watching them!!!

The day started out with just some pool fun, but quickly things got serious when we got to the CUPCAKES!! I mean, what kid doesn't go nutso over a bunch of over-frosted cupcakes!!! Even the big kids had to join in!

Kallie was in her glory, polishing off THREE cupcakes! Actually, I should say, she ate the frosting off three cupcakes. The actual "cake" was turned over to Daddy to finish. But hey, it was HER party, so why not?

Even Caroline got to enjoy some frosting AND some attention from her Mimi.

After the cupcakes, the presents and a bit more playtime, we let the adults enjoy a bit of fun while we grilled some burgers by the pool. I whipped up a pitcher of mango margaritas which absolutely hit the spot.

It was soon getting cool and we finally got the kiddos out of the pool and into some dry clothes. We built a fire out back and ended the festivities with our new favorite "fireside snack", smores with peanut butter!!! Yum!!!

It was a great time had by all!!!!!
