Super Mario & Princess Peach Party!

This weekend we celebrated Dylan's 7th birthday and Cadence's 4th Birthdays!!

Dylan came up with the idea of having them do a Super Mario & Princess Peach party. :)

I made the above mural (although got the idea online). Dylan loved it, when I put it up the morning of the party he kept telling me he couldn't stop looking at it. :)

We rented a huge water slide which the kids loved. They played all day on it...long after the party was over. Even Mark gave it a try before everyone showed up. :)

The girls made princess wands with glitter glue & colored princess pictures.

Lunch time was punch, hot dogs, watermelon and cheese balls...and the cheese balls were a huge hit with the kids! I wanted to keep it simple and things the kids would like.

Aunt Michelle came to town for the weekend of festivities! The kids were so excited she was here. Isabelle started to fade as the afternoon went on, she crawled up on Michelle's lap for a little rest. :)

We also had a snow cone machine!

Somehow Grandpa R. became the snow cone maker in the afternoon. So fun!

Homemade chocolate/vanilla swirl cupcakes for Dylan

and strawberry cupcakes for Cadence.

We waited until most of the kids had left to open gifts. In years past it was just too much chaos, so I decided to wait for things to calm down so the kids could really enjoy opening each gift. Dylan and Cadence took turns opening. Cadence really wanted the Tangled doll in picture above, she is super excited about it!

Dylan also enjoyed all his gifts!

It was such a fun day.

I was excited about how excited they were about their party. :)

Happy Birthday Kids!
