Happy Birthday girls!!!

Happy Birthday Maggie and Sadie! On May 30th Maggie turned 5 and on June 29th Sadie will turn 2...so we decided to throw a combo party this year for the both of them. It was so much fun!


We decided to do a petting zoo/pony rides party since we have two serious animal lovers on our hands. We used a delightful little local company who came and set up in our front yard. We had 15 small barnyard animals and one pony for riding. It was the perfect activity for 2 and 5 year olds, alike.

We ended up having nearly 60 guests. It was a beautiful sunny day, with loads of our favorite people there. We had hot dogs, baked beans and potato salad...birthday cake and ice cream. We love to host a party and felt so blessed to have so many friends and family come to celebrate our sweet girls!

Some...okay Tons of pics from the day....
Gigi carried on her birthday cake legacy and made the cake for the party. They are so de-lish!!! She had asked Mags what she wanted the cake to look like...Maggie said pink and purple with ponies and sprinkles. Looks made to order to me!!!! Maggie and Sadie were both thrilled.

Mom even made cupcakes too. She made chocolate ones...which is not her norm, just for my Todd! He loves all things chocolate.
Happy Birthday girls!
We had a little picture collage of the girls from the past year...some of them individually and some of them together.
We had a little painting station (another one of my girls favorite things to do). We had little white ceramic barnyard animals. Each kiddo could pick one out and paint it to take home with them.
My Nana (the family artist) helped a ton at this station. Thanks Nana, you're the best.

So sad I didn't get a pic of our little family of 4 together. I was too busy having fun and forgot to snap one!

What a great day of celebration! Our girls bless us, so!

Love to all,
