Continued Birthday Celebration

After celebrating Allie's birthday at the beach, we celebrated again at the pool with her cousins Justin and Will. They had a blast swimming, splashing -and screaming! Justin is the nine-year old nationally ranked Motorcross Racer, and Will is about to turn five in August- so you can imagine how crazy they were together at the pool!

And of course Allie made time for a little sunbathing. Wonder where she got that from...

Birthday Girl wanted a Hello Kitty Cookie cake, which of course we could not find. So guess who had to make one? She was a good helper and colored in the bow. :) Only thing we forgot were the candles! Mom found one in her pantry, so that's all Allie got to blow out. Funny how slack your parenting becomes over the years. At her first birthday party we had about 50 people (no children except the cousins), catered, with a full bar, tents, lanterns, flower arrangements, matching cake & invitations, and party favors... and now that she is seven, poor kid gets a home-made cookie cake and one candle! I promise to be better next year Al!
