Celebrating Good Times

We have had two weekends of celebrating.  Last weekend Evelyn had a sleepover (outer) for her birthday. It turned out really fun.  We picked up Evelyn and 4 friends from school taking both vehicles full of girls to a hotel about 45 minutes away.  Cousin Mason and our very good friend Mallory met us there.  Mason handled the fact that he was the only guy in this group really well.  : )  We swam in the pool for at least 3 hours, had pizza and smashed cupcakes.  Scott went to pick up the pizza and cupcakes not realizing how easily those containers slide around so he learned a lesson in cupcake transportation.  We had a two bedroom suite so it was enough space for the girls to do their own thing and us to survive.  We definitely have to thank Aunt Jen for use of her camera. In our rush, we left ours at home. After Mason and Aunt Jen left, the girls made a couple of crafts.  Evelyn thoroughly enjoyed it all and Emelia thought she was one of the big girls.  They settled in by midnight so we were pleased.  Most of this same group also went to a swim party on Saturday afternoon.  Whew, I know those were some tired kids.  I recovered enough to enjoy Mother's day having some time with both of our mothers.

This weekend we followed with a family party on Evelyn's birthday.  It was nice to enjoy the cake and visit this time.  I just absolutely cannot believe our baby girl is now seven.
