Happy Birthday to Lily!

Last Saturday afternoon, we celebrated Lily's 5th birthday! Her actual birthday is tomorrow, but I still can't believe she will be 5. In fact, I started lighting the candles on her cupcake and realized I had only put 4 candles on it! She wanted a Littlest Pet Shop party, which was lots of fun.

I made Lily this Littlest Pet Shop outfit to wear for her party, and she loved it. She looked pretty darn cute, too!


Hard at work making pom-pom pets! I also made little animal headbands for each of the kids, so they got to pick which animal they wanted to be when they first got here. They all looked so cute!






We also played "Pass the Hamster Ball", otherwise known as "Splash Ball". The "Hamster Ball" was a little plastic ball with a water balloon inside and a timer. You pass it around until the timer goes off and the balloon pops and splashes whoever is holding it. Poor Memphis, I think he got "splashed" both times. What a good sport!


Pinata Time! Swing, Lily, swing!

Lucy is always ready for candy!

This is what was left of the pinata after Micah finished it off and Isaiah put it on his head. Leave it to the boys!


Here are the yummy cupcakes (Notice there are only 4 candles on the top cupcake. I added the 5th after I took the picture and realized that there should be 5 candles).



Of course, I was running around like crazy the whole time and it took a lot of planning, but Lily loved it, I think everyone had fun, and I heard a couple of the kids say "This is the best party ever!", which makes it all worth it :) We love you, Lily!
