This year we celebrated the girls 5th<\/sup>\u00a0and 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0birthdays with a big backyard party complete with moon bounce, swings, ball pit, food, drinks, family, friends, and a heat index of 107 degrees!\u00a0 I was so worried about rain in the forecast\u2026I didn\u2019t think I had to be worried about excessive heat.\u00a0 It was HOT!\u00a0 Our outdoor party turned into an indoor and outdoor party, but I was totally okay with that as it was hot\u2026too hot for some folks.\u00a0 We had 59 people\u202625 kids and 29 adults\u2026.family, family friends, neighbors, and school friends.\u00a0 With the size of our backyard and the various rooms indoors people were hanging out, it really didn\u2019t seem like that many people.\u00a0 I took some pictures for documentary purposes but it wasn\u2019t my priority as I was trying to play hostess and socialize at the same time.<\/em><\/p>\n

Avery and Emerson had a great time hanging out with their friends.\u00a0<\/em>Harper was content hanging out with Ludmila and Karolin.\"IMG_3660\" \"IMG_3684\"\"IMG_3699\" \"IMG_3707\"\"IMG_3711\"\"IMG_3680\"\"IMG_3694\"\"IMG_3706\"\"IMG_3770\"\"IMG_3746\"\"IMG_3715\"\"IMG_3763\"\"IMG_3765\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Karolin made each girl a cake and Ludmila made the chocolate balls!\u00a0 Both were delicious! \u00a0We\u00a0sang Happy Birthday to each birthday girl! \u00a0Harper did not like the attention.\"_MG_3727\" \"_MG_3726\" \"IMG_3723\"\"_MG_3731\"\"_MG_3733\" \"_MG_3734\" \"_MG_3737\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Karolin and Lumdila also made sugar cookies (cupcakes and trains) for favors that were decorated and plated so beautifully and I completely forgot to take a \u201cbefore\u201d picture of them.\u00a0 By the time I remembered, there were only a few left and this picture hardly does their art work justice.\"IMG_3775\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Many escaped the heat inside.\u00a0 While they may look like they aren\u2019t having a good time (I mean just sitting at a party), I think everyone who went inside was actually enjoying the cool air condition and not moving.\"IMG_3709\" \"IMG_3710\"\"IMG_3748\"\"IMG_3779\" <\/em><\/p>\n

Despite\u00a0the excessive heat, we all had a great time! Happy 5th and 3rd Birthdays Avery, Emerson, and Harper!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
