Celebrating Eden...

Eden's birthday celebration began on Thursday when we received a package from Grandma Kathy and Papa Ron.  Maya and Eden were very excited to open their gifts.

On Friday she had five friends come over for a "Beach Party".  Eden came up with the theme.

These were the invitations:

And then.....

On Saturday we celebrated by going out to dinner at Applebee's. 

 When Edee was little she didn't want to eat there because she thought you had to eat apples with bees in them.  Silly Eden...

Maya and Eden had their first taste of mozzarella sticks.

Eden loved her dessert ... an ice cream sundae.

Back on Thursday she told us that we had to be nice to her yesterday, today and tomorrow because she was the birthday girl.  Well I think we fulfilled her wishes...

Now it's back to being mean to her again.

Will you come throw a party for me? Because that was amazing! I feel bad for my 3rd and 4th kids because by then, I am going to be throwing the presents across the table unwrapped!

Tell Eden, it was great while it lasted. That cake is adorable, just like those girls.

Did I tell you "Eden" is a contender for our girl's name? Such a lovely name for lovely girls.

That picture of all of them posing is awesome. Every other one of Jane's (way cuter) swimsuits were dirty, so she got that old Speedo one...I wish I'd remembered the blog...I would've have washed them in a hurry.

WAY CUTE PARTY!!!! I love kids parties! The cake is awesome! I'm in the process of planning Solomons Dragon party. Happy birthday to your sweetie!

A party like that could not take place without the aid of the very important lifeguard!!! The fact that he is such a "BABE" is just an added bonus!
