Happy 5th birthday Maggie!

Maggie shared a party with Allie but she also asked to have a sleepover so we decided this was a nice way to spend her special day- her actual day of birth. Maggie's birthday fell on Labor Day this year so we were out of town the weekend leading up to her b-day making this sleepover a tight squeeze. We made it home in time for dinner so her sleepover could commence. She asked for 4 girls to stay and since they're all cousins, we allowed it where we normally allow 3 max. The girls spent time playing Sunday night and got to sleep on the "big bed" in the playroom and watch a movie- Maggie chose the Little Mermaid. Things were off to a good start.

Happy Birthday Maggie! We had a yummy breakfast with eggs, fruit and muffins, then the kids played inside, outside, inside, outside.

Maggie requested pizza for lunch then an iced cookie cake before bringing everyone home and taking her birthday shopping, which she also requested. Maggie chose a dress-up Anna dress, Barbie & Ken dolls plus an extra outfit for Barbie.

It was a great birthday for our sweetheart Maggie Moo girl!!! I can't believe you're 5 already. :)

Allie's 1st birthday party- the details- part 3

Part Three- the people, party & presents

This is the last part of Allie's 1st birthday party details. You can read more details in these posts about decorations and dessert. This is all about the party itself and those that came out to celebrate our little girls and our baby's very big year! Picture overload ensue. :)

 Cake Time!

 I had the slideshow playing like I always do for first birthdays, the time capsule & bear to sign plus some coloring pages but otherwise no scheduled activities. And I think everyone had a great time playing outside, so it's just as well. The weather was nice for August, not quite as nice as Friday- it was pretty perfect the day before the party- but still much better than it could've been.

 After it was all said and done, little miss Allie had fun sitting in a box.... :)

Love these guys!
