Parties!

Birthday parties always come in spurts. We had three in one day recently! here goes...

Cole's 4 year old pool party!

Emma's 3 year old princess party! We took lots of pics at this one...it was really cute! Madelyn and Emma (and someone standing behind them)...

All the kids were given princess/prince costumes...M was Sleeping Beauty
Every princess rides in on her horse, right?
the princess chair! Emma got to sit here most of the time, but when she got up, it was a race to be next :)
Mirror mirror on the wall :)
playing a game similar to musical chairs...they had to earn their accessories, such as the tiara

then an obstacle course was set up and at the end you had to sword fight with a knight...she got him!

Clint with Sleeping Beauty...
and Emma with her castle cake!
then off to party #3. Jackson's 3 year old bounce house birthday! Dresses aren't great for climbing the giant inflatable slide, so I had to tuck the dress into her bloomers...lovely :)
the dress is still causing problems...look at it hanging out her car door!
pizza!
and Batman! Madelyn wasn't brave enough to take a picture by herself. Our neighbor was there, so they braved Batman together!
and what happens to a 2 year old after an entire day filled with cake, candy, punch, ice cream, and more? THIS...
She had a HUGE meltdown before bed and was screaming at me and slamming her bedroom door in my face! awesome.
