Birthday girls!

After Friday's date with daddy we had to get up and get ready for Presley's birthday party on Saturday! It was my birthday so I was lucky enough to sleep in until 9 am and then wake up to waffles! Perfect! P and daddy left to go pick up the balloons and cake while Piper and I hung out and did some cleaning.

 

The birthday girls!

We did talk her out of her Christmas birthday party and she decided on Tinkerbell....it was a big decision for her!

We decided to have a family party and then invite some of her 'friends' too. We never know when to make that family to friend transition for birthdays! There were 7 girls and one boy under the age of 5 (including one girl older girl and 2 older boys).

Presley, Mary, Sadie, Ava, Ava....(far right) Piper and Grace...and Boston in the background!

Presley did a great job playing and letting everyone play with her toys and help her open presents.....until it was cake time. Now, if you know Presley, you would remember that the last 3 years she had cried when we sing her happy birthday...well this year was NO different! She said she wouldn't, she didn't cry at preschool when they sang to her but she hid.

 

She wouldn't blow out her candle b/c of course everyone was looking at her. Tramatic! We gave Ava the honor of blowing out the candle for her, she pouted and ran to her room. She was sad b/c she didn't want us to sing and she wanted to blow out her candle but not with everyone looking. So Aunt Holly came to the rescue and the three of us went to her bedroom, relit the candle and let her blow it out herself. So lesson learned.....after 4 years, DO NOT sing happy birthday to Presley.

People started filing out but we were able to keep Mary with us for a couple more hours while Holly and Jerry went to dinner with his family. These three girls (Mary, P and Ava) had a fun time!

 

 

 Then P and I had some good snuggle time watching the end of Alvin and the Chipmunks (one of her favs) before bedtime.

She had such a good day with our family and friends and got SO many nice presents! We are all very lucky that everyone was able to spend this day with us!
