Birthday Parties

We've been to several cute birthday parties in the past couple of weeks & of course I couldn't help but to take pictures. First up, Sadie's friend Matthew had a beach bash in his backyard:

You can't really tell from the picture but that is actually a water slide/bounce house. The kids had a blast playing outside & keeping cool in the water. Maggie is always so creative so her food spread & decorations inside did not disappoint:

She even made his cake, half white, half chocolate & it turned out so cute:

Of course the girls had a blast & we had fun celebrating Matthew turning 6:

Next up, Sophie's friend, Gavin had a pool party in his backyard:

After they swam & played games, Gavin's teacher from Sonshine School surprised the kids & came to paint their faces:

Sadie chose a girlie mardi gras mask & Sophie just had to be Spider Man:

It was such a fun morning & we are so thankful that Sonshine brought these kids together:

Sadie also got invited to a gymnastics party for Hadley:

That is the only picture I got because she turned 8 so everyone dropped the girls off & parents didn't stay :( Can't believe we are getting to that next phase of life! Obviously she was the only young one since she is only 5 1/2, but Hadley is our neighbor across the street & Sadie idolizes her. I knew she was in good hands with the Huff family & she came home raving about the party so I guess she did fine!

Finally, Sadie got invited to Kenzie's 6th party at Build A Bear at the mall:

Each girl got to pick out their own bear & it was so cute watching all of them shop for their outfits & help get them made:

Afterwards they headed upstairs to the food court where they had lunch & cake. Kenzie wanted a Princess Poppy/Trolls themed party & all of the cupcakes looked so cute:

We always have fun celebrating with our friends, just can't believe most of their friends are turning 4 & 6!
