Birthday Fun!

 Bug and Boo were so excited to decorate for Peanut's birthday. They stayed up way too late putting up streamers and blowing up balloons. 

But the next morning she was so happy! 


And super excited about her big present! 


A big girl bike!


Sweet birthday girl!


Grandma and Grandpa got her a bike bell, streamers, and elbow/knee guards.


She chose donut holes for her birthday breakfast.


We let her open her sisters' presents because they were all Calico Critters and they were able to play all morning.






After the presents she headed outside to test out the new bike! The streamers Grandma got were the exact same bright purple color of her bike! What are the chances!?


Peaches had to get on her bike too. :)


They played all morning while the baby took her nap and then we headed to town for some fun. Daddy had board meeting so he couldn't join us, but we met up with Noni. Peanut picked breadsticks and salad bar for lunch. 


And then the carousel!


We had an hour so we bought the day passes and rode over and over again...SEVEN times in a row for our SEVEN year old girl. :) They would jump off at the end, go out the gate, and race around to get in line again. 


Noni held D for me because Peaches had to have an adult with her.


The three big girls got ring after ring!


I didn't realize Peanut was big enough to reach them! You can see she had to put her leg up and kind of push off to get them.


Love this look Noni captured!


Happy girls! I think they could ride that thing all day!


We got ice cream and then headed home. Daddy got off work early and the birthday girl chose a popcorn movie night! She and I had read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory while Bug and Boo were in Texas so we watched the movie...the newer one with Johnny Depp because that was only one on Netflix. 

After the movie was over we headed upstairs for cake and presents. Noni joined us after her prayer meeting.



Happy birthday to you...


Make a wish!



She got lots of fun presents! Birthday money from Pawpaw and Nana, Gma V and Gpa J, Aunt Karen, and Mama! I see a shopping trip in her future!

 From Aunt J and Uncle K she got a mermaid necklace and a mermaid blanket! 


So cute!


Auntie N and family sent a bunch of fun things! Cupcake doll...


Sparkly pink tennis shoes!


And a super cute Calico Critter set!


After she finished opening her presents she headed home with Noni to spend the night for her special day! 


What a fun birthday for our big little Peanut. :)

Party Time!

The girls were all so excited for Peanut's birthday party! Daddy took off the afternoon of the party, but had a meeting he had to go to first so Noni drove with us to the pool. The girls rushed into the water as soon as they were able!


The party guests trickled in and all the kids swam, swam, swam! The time went by so fast! I guess that means we were having fun! 

About halfway through we called everyone over to the party area for cake and presents. 


She had picked Cracker Jacks (because she has some gluten free friends) and bubbles for favors. 

 

I guess I forgot to get a close up of the cupcakes. Buggy had made adorable little rainbow horns, and made the cupcakes match the blue narwhal pinata Peanut had picked out. 


Make a wish!


She was so excited to open presents! 

  

She got some really fun Calico Critter sets, art supplies, and a birdhouse making kit!

 


Auntie Nae and family got her an amazing Calico Critter lighthouse! I hope she got a good deal on it (knowing her she did!) because it was huge! And it even shines different patterns on the ceiling in the dark! So cool!


She was so excited about the pinata! Daddy found a way to hang it from the tree and all the kids got two turns whacking away at it before Buggy finally got it open.


Daddy needs to work on Peaches baseball swing. Haha.


Boo knocked the whole thing down, but didn't split it.


And Buggy dealt the killing blow the second time around.

  

Free for all!



After the pinata it was back to the water for another hour and half of fun before they closed. Noni went down the slide literally dozens of times with the girls!


And they were so excited that Grandma, Auntie Nae, and the cousins were there!

  

Ganging up on the big brother. Haha.



Lou enjoyed the water for a while before taking a super short nap.


I think Peaches could swim every day! She loves it!


After we left we grabbed a bite with the cousins before heading home.


What a fun day celebrating our big 7 year old!
