Alyssa Turns 5!

Alyssa was so excited for her birthday this year. She got to have a few friends over for a "princess party."

Gifts

Decorating Cookies

I have to admit a party for little girls is soooooooo much easier than a party for little boys.

A few days after her "friend party" was her "real birthday." Alyssa got to open her presents before everyone went to school.

Then we had cake for our after school snack.
Alyssa chose Red Robin for her birthday dinner because she wanted to be sung to and she wanted the free ice cream sundae.

Gavan's party

Gavan chose to have his friend party at the house this year. In years past we have gone to a movie with a few friends. I have to say that a movie birthday is my favorite, little work, no mess and less ciaos.

Gavan decided to have a Wii party like last year. He really wanted to play backyard football but we couldn't find it anywhere to rent. There was only one store that did have it to rent and there copy was 3 weeks overdue. Since that is the only thing Gavan wanted to do for his birthday we had to go and buy the game.

We opened presents.

We made lunch for Gavan's friends.

Jake, Tyler and Noah

We made him a football themed cake. This was a team effort on mine and Gary's part. I think that cake turned out pretty cool.

I love the goal posts, they turned out really good.
