..::Fancy Nancy 6th Birthday::..

To start off Alexa's birthday celebrations, she got to go on a mommy/daughter date yesterday to Build-A-Bear Workshop.  That was the present she requested from mommy and daddy.  We had such a fun time, me and my big girl!  I actually LOVED the whole experience at Build-A-Bear and loved watching Alexa build her very own bear, whom she named Elizabeth.

 

 

Then, today, was her Fancy Nancy birthday party.  Here she is posing with Elizabeth.
Payton and Barrett wanted to get in on picture-taking too!

 

All ready for the party to start!

The best thing I did for Alexa's party (thanks Gretchen for the idea), was to hire two of our favorite babysitters to help me out during the party.  Maddy and Maggie were HUGE lifesavers and made the party run so smoothly!  They helped me get the girls all fancy...fancy nails, fancy face paint, fancy hats, fancy accessories, fancy lunch.  It was a FANCY party...perfect for these fancy little ladies! 

 Presents!

Once again, Alexa was spoiled by her very generous and giving friends!

We are so thankful for each and every one of them!

After presents, the girls sang Happy Birthday to sweet Alexa and then they each got to make a fancy cupcake of their own!

 

It was such a fun day!

I will definitely be hiring babysitters to help out with future birthday parties! :-)

I cannot believe my baby girl is 6 years old!

Happy Birthday Alexa!

Pump It Up

It was our sweet little neighbor, McKenna's, birthday a couple days ago...and she invited the girls to her party at Pump It Up.  To say they were beyond excited is an understatement!!  I just realized though that we didn't get any pictures with the birthday girl! :(

Thanks McKenna for inviting them though, they had so sooooo much fun!

Party Time

Today was our little friend, Pierson's, birthday. His party was at Pump It Up, a fun play place here. The last time we went, I was about 1/2 way through my pregnancy with Barrett and all Payton wanted to do was go down this huge slide...but she needed my help going up the stairs/ladder part of it. Needless to say, I was just a little bit exhausted by the end of that excursion and vowed I wouldn't go back whilst prego! Sooooo fast forward several months, and we're invited to a birthday party. Of course we'll go...I'm no longer pregnant AND I think Payton is big enough to do it on her own! Sure enough....here she is, going up (all by herself)!

And COMING DOWN!!!

Hahahaha...she's going to resent me for posting these pictures later, I'm sure, but I can't help getting a kick out of them. She only face-planted a couple of times but I just so happened to capture one on film and I love how it shows the progression of said face plant!!

Anyways, we had a GREAT time celebrating with our good friends! Happy Birthday little buddy, we're sure gonna miss you when you move!
