The Birthday Party

The invitations:
The Birthday Girl:
The flower hair clips (well just a few since each girl got to make one to take home):
The helpers (couldn't/wouldn't have done it without them):
The entertainment (Keri the Amazing) who face painted for 2+ hours:
(Wesley wanted an airplane, not just have one painted on his face, he wanted to BE an airplane and this is what Keri came up with):
(Luke is a super hero with flames)

The cake:
The song:
The blowing out of the trick candles (well, one of the attempts anyway):
The Cutie-pa-tuties:
The dancing (and singing because that is what little girls love to do):


The End

That picture of Jason and Rachie is to die for cute. I mean like you see it and you want to burst into tears because its just too sweet.

Why can't everyone have a mother like Joy. It sure looks like everyone had fun. Kerri did a great job, too. Looks like Jason and Rachael were enjoying everything, also.

Allie will always remember this.

Thanks for your posts, Joy. You make living far away bearable.

What a fun party! I can't believe how cold you guys have gotten. That is no fun at all.

Joy You have really raised the bar for Birthday parties among Allie's friends. I am amazed at all of your good ideas and ENERGY!! I felt bad when Allie told us that she hadn't had a very good Birthday- that must have been during the week before the party. What a fun memory... and all recorded in pictures and video. FUN!!

Wow! I just saw a few posts ago of each year of her life. You are AMAZING at making special cakes. That takes so much time and preparation and figuring-out. Nice job. I love this year's cake. Fun party!
