What is more fun than celebrating when a sweet grandchild turning five? The only thing I can think of is celebrating twice.
Celebration #1 was last Saturday. Maris had her birthday party at the aquatic center near their home. She is big on sticking out her tongue lately.
Visiting with Brian who is looking very tan.
Camden was much happier than he looks here.
He looked so grown up!
It was a Hello Kitty theme party, and Brandy's friend made this darling cake.
All the kids had a great time in the pool. We toyed with the idea of being fun grandparents and going swimming, but decided "being fun" isn't all it's cracked up to be. :)
We had a great time shopping for Hello Kitty presents and were excited that Maris loved the toy and flip flops. We found the cutest umbrella. I hope it rains sometime so Maris can use it.
Brandy was the perfect hostess, keeping everyone happy.
Celebration #2. Sunday we enjoyed our monthly dinner together, so we decided to do more celebrating for Maris' upcoming birthday. I tried my hand at making Hello Kitty cupcakes. I did some white ones to look like Hello Killy, then tried some pink ones because Maris wanted white cupcakes with pink frosting.
Alicia and Erik surprised us at the last minute. They didn't think they would be able to come. We were so happy! Does she show or not?
Ready to blow out the candle!
Brandy helped with everything.
Camden and Maris worked hard making some words with play doh.
Two fun celebrations. Happy Birthday Maris!
