A Barbie Birthday

Bria's birthday party was yesterday, and it was so fun! She wanted to have a Barbie birthday party. So, we started with making prince and princess crowns.

Here is Bria coloring her princess crown.

Max wearing his prince crown.

Then, we played "Barbie Says". Everyone had a turn being Barbie. Bria played Barbie in this picture. The kids really had fun.

We had a Barbie dance party with a balloon twist. The kids had balloons attached to their ankles. The idea was to dance until they popped their balloons.

We also played telephone. The girl who stated said "Barbie is Fun!" The little kids got confused on how to play, so by the end of the circle, we skipped over half the crowd and came out with "Doggie". They thought that was really silly. The other game that we didn't get to play, but I thought was still a fun idea is Pin the Accessory on the Barbie. I had the Barbie finished, but no accessories to pin on by the time the party started...too little time (or maybe too much time working on the cake).

Here is Bria's birthday cake. Dave's sister is really big into birthday cake decorating, so she let me borrow her barbie doll cake mold to make Bria's birthday cake. It turned out cute, but Oh, my! it was a lot of work. Bria really loved her barbie doll cake.

I thought this picture Dave took is really funny! All of the kids have cute expressions on their faces! They are such a fun group of kids.

Two years in our new house already

I woke up this morning and remembered that we closed on our new house on Bria's birthday and moved in the next day. I can't believe it has been two years ago already!

Here is our house in September 2006 while still under construction.

Here is our house today!

Bria's Birthday!

I cannot believe that the cute little baby that it really seems like we just brough home from the hospital turned 5 YEARS OLD today! What happened that made 5 years go by so fast? I can completely see why I get told so often that "they grow up so fast"! It really takes no time at all. So sad!

Well, Bria's actual birthday party isn't until Saturday. We are having the party a little late because my sister, Aubri (whom we haven't seen for over a year), is coming up to celebrate with us. YEAH! That will be fun. But, I couldn't just let the day go without doing something. So, we gathered up the other little girls (and the mom's, of course) from the neighborhood and had a girls (+Max) day out. We went to a pizza buffet. Now, this pizza buffet is good, no doubt, but the real reason we went there is to get their very yummy, delicious, scruptious dessert called a Cookie Monster. It is sooo good, and probably fairly easy to make, but I swear part of what makes it taste so good is getting it served to us?!? They bake a giant cookie. Then, right when they pull it hot out of the oven, they top it with ice cream, chocolate, carmel and whipped cream. YUM!

What a fun day!!
