For the last two years I have done a double birthday party for my girls since they are only 2 1/2 weeks apart. They have mostly the same friends so instead of having everyone come to two parties we just throw one big one. This year we actually did it on Riley's birthday because we have lots of friends moving soon so we wanted everyone to be able to come.
We had a splash party which is always pretty simple to do. Luckily summer decided to grace us with its presence so it was actually in the high 70's on the 7th. Both of the girls were thrilled to get in their swim suits and head outside to test the water before their friends came.
Last year I made the cake for our girls and I made all of the food of the BBQ and it was so stressful. So this year we did pizza and I asked my next door neighbor to make Riley's birthday cake and cupcakes for everyone. They came out adorable!! And they tasted great! I love my new neighbors :)
Everyone started showing up and so all the ladies headed outside and the men congregated in the kitchen. A little backwards right?.. But Casey was makin the pizzas so thats where the men went.
All of the kids that came had a blast playing outside in the water!
After pizza we headed to the front yard to bust open our cupcake pinata. I just love this first photo of some one the first kids out their waiting for everyone! We let them all take turns hitting the pinata, but I wasn't brave enough to have them blindfolded so we let them take a whack at it with their vision in tact.
My awesome friend Rose helped out each kiddo as they came up to hit the pinata. This is Tins in all her glory going at the pinata. She was thrilled to death to be hitting something and not getting in trouble.
We then headed inside for cake, and everyone sang happy birthday to miss Riley.
All in all it was a great day and we were so happy to see all of our friends that were able to come! We will miss our friends that are moving, but we wish you the best of luck!!
