Birthday Girl

























My little girl is a big girl now! She is gr owning so fast I can't believe it. We had a great birthday party for her this weekend and I think she and all the other kids had a great time. You can tell here how much she loves to dress up like a princess. She was so excited every time she opened a new dress up gift.

























Right before the Party I had to snap this cute picture of the two little ones. My little Love Bugs!



















And of course her best buddy Kooper came for the weekend to help us celebrate.

























The Party was a Cupcake theme and this was such a fun cake to make for her. After decorating cookies and cupcakes the kids had so much sugar that we didn't even eat the cake. At least it was pretty.


Our back yard was decorated in pink. Kid tables and lots of balloons. I thought it looked really cute.

I don't think there were any balls left in this bouncy house.


We started the party with a little coloring, looks like Kooper was really working hard to color a great picture.




















Here are all the kids with one of the fun crafts, we colored cookies with food coloring markers. I think this was a Big hit...
























and then came the cupcake decorating, the kids went crazy for this. I think there was more sugar consumed in this activity than in the entire party. The kids were a mess but it was SOOOOO FUN. I think I made over 50 cupcakes and only had 10 leftover.






















We also had a big bubble bucket. Everyone loved to get wet, then Michael (the little guy) fell in. It was a little scary in the moment but in the end he was okay.
I was waiting for Kopper and Mackenzie to jump in too. (That is what they did at Koopers party last year).



















"Happy Birthday to you" Of course I couldn't get those candles to light. The rain held off almost till the end of the party. And then right after the song was sung the rain came down and everyone ran for shelter. The Garage party began. One of Mackenzie's school friends got really sick after eating all that sugar but she said immediately after getting sick "mom that was the BEST PARTY EVER" how funny.
























Mackenzie received several fun dress-up princess dresses and wanted to try each one on after opening them. Dress-up, movies, music, and art all of her favorite things. Thanks to everyone for all the fun gifts. We are going to have fun this summer!!





















One of our dearest neighbors from Greenville came up for the celebration. Miss Kelly what would we ever do without you.
























This wasn't a dress up dress but it was one of the cutiest dresses I have ever seen. Fits Mackenzie's personality to a tee. Thanks Aunt Amanda we LOVE IT!



















After all that partying we had to settle down and watch "Little Mermaid" a new favorite in our house. (Mackenzie and Kooper got up the next morning and watched it again). These are our "street friends" Roman, Adriana, Jack, and Isabelle.



















I have to give a shout out to my girl Dana, her and her husband Pete really pulled through to help us have a great party. Thank you guys we love ya.

Thanks to everyone that came to the party. We had such a great time. It was a little touch and go with the weather, but we made it and had a fun party.

Forcast calls for rain.


Just another day in the Grant House. I hope this is not a sign our roof is leaking.

That's the way I roll!!

This weekend was very big weekend for good old Campbell; she rolled over for the first time Sunday morning. You can tell she didn't know what to think.

Going....



Going....



Gone!!



What just happend???



She also ate her first solid food "sweet potatoes" YUMMY! You can tell she really liked it.




Mackenzie was so excited for Campbell when she rolled over she jumped on top of her and said "you did it!, you did it! Baby sister I am so proud of you" It was very heart warming to see her get so excited about her little sisters accomplishment.

Yes! I am a NKOTB fan!!




And they are getting back together!! They are on the Today show Friday 5/16 for a mini concert. I wish I could be there!!

Cinderella


This is her doing her Ballet moves. She cracks me up.
She must have gotten this move from her dad.:)

Mackenzie got the movie Cinderella and now will only wear dresses. For a while she would only go to school wearing her Ballerina "Princess" Dress over her clothes. I had to go buy several dresses for her to start wearing to school so she would stop doing this. Silly Girl!
