Bella's Birthday Bash

I think I've discovered the secret to planning the perfect party. NO PLANNING AT ALL!!! Saturday afternoon we had an impromptu party for Bella. There was no worrying about what to feed people, no worrying about getting the house spotless, no worrying about how to entertain the guests. We called our families about two hours before we decided to throw a little get together and it worked out perfect. Brian ran to the store for eats while I tidied up the house a bit and before you knew it . . . the party began!

The weather even cooperated and the rain held off long enough for the kids to blow off some energy outside and for us to fire up the grill. Cousin Kenziee and Kadin lived it up in the sandbox, while Bella snuggled up to "Mamma". (She always calls Grandma "mamma" which I know sometimes people think she's referring to me, but she only calls me "mommy")






We were even crafty enough to turn a last-minute purchase of a graduation cake into Bella's birthday cake by sticking a My Little Pony on it!




After the rains came, we moved the party indoors to eat and have cake. Then it was on to opening the presents. I was really psyched for her to open our present because a long time ago I had purchased this tube and tent set for outside. I kept it hidden for Bella's birthday and I knew the kids would just go wild. I will definately get a better picture of it outside and in action because the kids have already played with it and it's a huge hit with the neighbors!


Of course after she unwrapped it, we HAD to take it out of the box! Our living room was consumed by tubes and tents!



We all had a great time eating, visiting and watching the kids be nutty hyper kids. I think Bella's face sums it up the best . . . . . . . .
