So my little Keelie Jo turned 5 last week! I can't believe it! She has been begging to get her ears pierced for years so on her actual birthday we took her to the mall and got them pierced. She was so brave, she cried for like a minute then asked if she could go play. I was proud of her. So they played then we went and got pizza. Then Saturday was her big party. We planned on having it at the park, because as you can see from the picture, we invited like 15 kids. On Saturday at around 10:00 we realized that wasn't going to happen because it had been raining all morning. I was stressing trying to figure out what to do because there was no way we could fit that many kids in our house for 2 hours! So we had the idea to have it in the cultural hall at the church. So, I tracked down phone numbers and called or texted all the parents. We were set and I just had to think of a few games to play. Then at about 12:00 the power goes out in our whole neighborhood, including the church. I was freaking out because I thought I was going to have to think of a 3rd option and I had no idea what to do. Luckily around 12:45 the power was back on and we were able to have it at the church. I think it turned out pretty well for being thrown together last minute. We had a bounce house, coloring books, played games, had donuts and hot chocolate, and opened presents. I think the kids had a blast!
Keelie and Kate performing their "stunt" at their dance recital. My pictures never turn out good.
I had to throw in this picture of Hadlie. It cracked me up that she was wearing a leatard and a tutu, and carrying around a bat wanting to play ball.
