What a party! We sure lucked out with the weather. It pretty much rained all day with the exception of a perfectly timed window just after lunch where the rain died down just enough for the kids to swim.
There was no furniture. There was supposed to be couches, but there was a mix up with the furniture store. We had card tables and folding chairs everywhere. I didn't even attempt anything cute or fancy this year. I did buy some beach ball cupcake toppers and flip flop cupcake wrappers, but they got packed in a box and I couldn't find them in time. I just happened to have these bees and flowers, so that's what we used. I ended up finding the beach balls right before the party was over....I knew that was going to happen.
Jed got his first taste of a sweet not derived from a fruit. He loved the cupcake. He was really in to the cake part. He was pretty nice and neat about it.
They both received so many great gifts. Evangeline enjoyed her American Girl horses, a box of quarters and a bag of buttons. She got some craft kits, but we haven't had a chance to get them out yet. She will sure love those too! Jed got some adorable clothes and some cool toys that make sounds and have buttons, which Jed just thinks are the best.
The kids enjoyed their swim even if it was sprinkling...
At the last minute I planed a little party game since the weather looked so crummy. Evangeline's always wanted to be in a cake walk so I made a game similar to a cake walk. The game and prizes were a hit.
Even though the house wasn't perfectly perfect and I didn't have the cool beach ball cupcake toppers... my kids had a great time and we love celebrating them.
