Since we are home on our Spring Break right now, we decided to combine 2 of our sweeties' birthdays and have a double celebration! Halle's birthday was back on March 3, and Daisy's is coming up on April 25...so we celebrated them in the middle.
It was such a fun evening as both of our families gathered together at Nathan's parents' house. Halle was looking forward to this for weeks, and Daisy loved her cake more than any of our other 1-year olds ever did!
And YES...I know I am camera-happy. Especially when it comes to our kids. And especially on their birthday parties. So just take that as a warning. :)
Here is Halle, ready to start her party! She is such a sweet and beautiful little girl. She loooooves Hello Kitty, so I made her this cake:
Here is Daisy, the other birthday girl! She won't be 1 until the 25th, but that's okay. She is also such a sweet and beatiful little girl!
The 2 birthday girls...I love this picture!!
Some of you might remember a couple of months ago, at Kaine's birthday party, we had so much fun playing "Pin the Tail on the Lion." So we were going to play that same game for Halle and Daisy's party, but then we were thinking that all of our guests just played it 2 months ago! So we came up with a new game:
Kiss the Princess!!
I can't remember if this was Nathan's idea, or one of his parents'...but it was so fun! The morning of her party, I took a picture of Halle like this:
Then Dave took it to get printed at the Print Shop, and it came out like this:
And then we had each person put red frosting on their lips, and in much the same way as "Pin the Tail", they had to "Kiss the Princess"...it was so funny! Hopefully everyone doesn't mind me posting the pictures of this:)
It was so fun:)
Then, it was time for the customary pinata. This is a tradition that is fun, but we aren't sure if we are glad we started it or not:) Pinatas take time to make! But our kids love it.
Daisy was extremely excited to get her hands on this cake!! As we were singing to her, we could barely get the candle blown out in time before she started eating it. She was ADORABLE!!!!
And Halle was anticipating her gifts all evening!
Everyone went out on the patio to talk when all the activities were done. It was a beautiful evening.
A blogpost wouldn't be complete without a crazy picture of Layla:) She is so funny!
What a fun evening. Thanks so much, mom and dad, for letting us have it at your house! And thanks everyone else for coming and putting up with our crazy game:) You are all good sports!!
