Girls party

With the girls birthdays only being a week apart in June we combined their parties on the Saturday in between the actual birthdays.

Of course it was Dora and Diego themed So we had plates, cups, napkins with the theme. The menu was pizza, potato smiles and stars, fruits and cake.

The guest list: Grannie, Uncle John Anthony, Auntie Kristen, Brennan, Jonathan, Russell, Rachael, Lewis, Libby, Leo, JR, Dashia, Gideon, Naomi, Grandpa Michael, Grandma Maureen, Rachel, Emily, Uncle Nathan, Aunt Stacey and Kellan.

It was a bit showery and windy but we had a fun day. Firstly as people started to arrive I was told to come to the door to help with something......... When I looked out I was surprised to see Nathan, Stacey and Kellan! Although Abby wanted to invite them we told her that they wouldn't be able to come all this way for the party. They had planned this trip back and kept it a surprise so it was wonderful to have them here and be able to share our celebrations with them. It was especially great for them to meet AJ and Aleah and it was wonderful to see Kellan again as when they left he was a toddler and now he is a little boy!

The kids played, we ate, had cake went to the park and field just outside our house and then let the girls open some presents. We were having so much fun that we ended up eat leftover pizza for dinner! The girls had a terrific day and we are so thankful to our friends and family for making the day special.
