Bailey’s birthday parties…from dinosaurs to fairies!

what she got..a lot of fairy stuff. SANYO DIGITAL CAMERA

For the friend party we had a “Fairy Garden Party”—totally Bay’s idea! So I made tissue paper flowers and Bay helped make the invitations, and it was all fairies and flowers! It was really girly and fun. I think she got the idea from this little book she has, and we read it at the party…but it is about little fairies having a garden party with blueberry muffins and fruit under flowers. It is cute. So we of course had to have blueberry muffins, and strawberries and grapes, and lots of flowers! We also incorporated a lot of butterflies into it, too.

coloring fairy pictures…Sawyer and Abbie sharing pink crayons with Bay…SANY0150

Here are the fairies after transformation (we played musical flowers and then as they got out, they went upstairs and got wings and glitter make-up and these cute lil butterfly clips for their hair)SANY0152_edited-1

haha! I love this picture! She wanted to try on the swimsuit and goggles we got her! and some of the other little toys…SANY0190

It was a really fun day….she loved having her friends over for a party!  We also had a family party Sat…but I don’t think I took any pictures…I thought I did, but can’t find them! It was fun, too…we just had pizza and cake and ice cream cones. Thanks to everyone who came, or sent their little girl…it made Bailey feel very special on her 4th b-day. Smile

The aquarium...to get out of the house!!!

preface...Jack LOVES Nemo! This was his first time to the aquarium...since he was little...but we have gone so much lately (whenever the kids aren't sick). (these pics must be old bc it is from before his hair cut…so prob Jan (mid).

Listen for the excited “Look! oh,oh! There is! It’s Nemo-NEMO!”

Here is a bit more of the Nemo excitement! I love it!
