Party, Party, Party!!!

*I really hate how blogger does pictures so sorry if they look stupid. I was tired of trying;)*

*This is also way late! It's been a month since her birthday so I guess it's about time I got it blogged. I blogged about her birthday with just her family but not her big party!!!*

For Makenna's sixth birthday, I knew it was time to have a friend party. We had only done family parties before but I felt it was time once she started Kindergarten to let her invite some friends. I searched the internet to find a cute idea for her party. I didn't want it to be the same as every other party. I found this adorable idea to have a "pretend sleepover". It was awesome! First, I had to do the invitations!! I made them each little pillows that they can later use for their dolls with their names on them. I then wrapped the invitation with the pillow with a ribbon (not pictured because it is on my ohter camera). Makenna got a special crown put on hers because she was the princess for the day!! :)

We invited like 11 girls and ALL of them came except one so we had 12 little girls over including my girls. My little girl must be popular:) I had them do a craft (a door hanger for their room to keep with the theme). Once they were done with their craft, Travis painted their faces and made little rainbows and stuff. Then it was time for the movie!! They got their blankets and pillows all set up and they got ready to watch Tangled!! Trav left to get the pizza which we passed out to them when he got back along with cheetos (Kenna's fave) and capri suns. 

 After they were done eating, we (I had great help....Mom and Mom in law and my Dad, Sis in law and of course Trav was amazing!!) took turns with them all and painted their nails. I had a bunch of different colors for them to choose from and then they got to keep that color of nail polish to take home!

 After the movie was over, it was time for cake!!

 This is out of order but these were their goody bags!! They had rings, nail polish, sparkly pencils, ring pops and suckers....and of course their door hanger:)

 Makenna getting sung to!!

 She then went to open presents while we served the cake.

It ended right on time!! I timed it perfectly! We didn't have to rush and we didn't have to figure out anything to fill up time!! It was awesome! It was a ton of work but I wanted it to be wonderful and personally I think it was perfect!! She kept thanking me for a long time afterwards!!

Jordyn's Party!!

For Jordyn's birthday, I took her to the park to play and to feed the ducks. She loved the swings but wasn't so sure about the ducks. I think her sister had the most fun;)

There were a ton of ducks and they were not shy!!! There were these huge ones that would just take the bread out of my hand. Unfortunately, one got Makenna right on the hand which she did not appreciate very much. There were a ton of turtles around sunbathing too.

That night it was just Travis, Makenna and I and we got a cake for her to try out. She picked at it for a few minutes and thought it was pretty good but got uninterested pretty quickly.

Then, Saturday was our big party day!! We decided to have everyone over to our house for Jordyn's party. It was a great turnout with a total of 25 people that showed up (and it was all family!!). I'm so glad that our girls' birthdays are at good times of the year because we were able to have people inside and out!! We barbecued burgers and hot dogs and my dad made his yummy potato salad!! I don't think Jordyn knew what was going on with all these people at her house but when she started to figure out that these were her family, she finally relaxed and had fun.

Party time!!! What a beautiful birthday girl!! And her sister had a blast with all of her cousins!

Her cakes. Travis started cutting into the one at the top before I got to take a pic. The bottom two were made by her Grandma. Thanks Grandma!!

She hates getting into her highchair now so she made it a little difficult to get her to stop crying long enough for her to realize that we were giving her cake!! It was pretty much the same as the other night. She picked at it for a few minutes and then she was done!!! O-well. I guess my girls just hate getting dirty;) The bottom pics are of her finally happy in the sink getting clean.

Pinata time. We didn't have anything to hang it up on so I just held it while they took turns pulling those strings. The kids went crazy after that candy!! And yes, those beautiful Asian girls are part of our family too;)

Present time!! She made out big time!! It was like Christmas for J.J.Ü Thank you everyone for coming and sharing our baby's first birthday with us. I love that we have so much family so close.
