Birthday extravaganza!

Okay so it wasn't quite an extravaganza, but I think the birthday girl felt special and enjoyed her first (sorta) "kid's only" ladybug party.
She got a new, used, big girls bike that she asks to ride everyday. She made the transition from tricycle to this really well and only had a tad bit of trouble with the braking. And she looks so big!

Tim made this cute ladybug cake!


Our table set up. My sister-in-law organized pretty much the whole party and made this ladybug tablecloth with leaves runner. Very cute! She painted the ladybug in the above picture and organized all the games, made the party favor bags and cute little ladybug visor hats and even did face-painting for the kids! She was so helpful and creative, everything looked great and I didn't really have to do anything except be hostess. So thanks Cori!

The swingset was very popular

After the party, showing off one of big sis's gifts. He loves shoes, especially her dress up ones. We figure we can use this picture for blackmail later. :)

Very cute party and Kaylin looks like she had a great time. I agree with Melissa. Kudos to your sis-in-law for all her work and letting you relax somewhat. Love the picture. And daddy looks like he had fun, too. I'm sure it was special. You don't have to have an extravaganza to have fun. Sweet.
