Happy Birthday Kristen!!

Kristen turned 11 years old on Sunday, March 23rd. We had a blast celebrating at her party Thursday evening!! My first baby girl is growing into such a beautiful young lady. I am so proud of her. She has a heart of gold and shows love and compassion to so many. She is definitely her mama's daughter, even if she is a daddy's girl!! She is so much like I was at her age, it is like watching myself grow up all over again. Kristen's smiles and giggles are contagious and she brings so much to every day. I can't wait to see what she becomes later in life, but if I had to guess, it will be a mirror of my own life. I love you Kristen, happy birthday!


Now on to the pictures of all the fun!! Here is Kristen mixing up her cake on Wednesday night.



The finished cake!! She had a rock n roll theme for her party so we decided on a guitar cake. The icing is actually purple, although, it looks more blue in the pictures.


Here they are outside playing after everyone enjoyed some tacos for dinner!! Poor Tyler!! I don't think he had a chance of escaping!


We had an egg toss too!! Look close and you can see random eggs flying through the air! Yes, they were raw eggs!!



UH-OH!! Becca was the first to break an egg!!


Olivia and Brooklyn were the champs!! It was close though, Becca W. and Kristen were right there too!


I think Mrs. Stephanie was having fun too!!

This ended with Mrs. Stephanie breaking an egg over Tyler's head!!

Kristen's little "boyfriend", Cade.

Kristen and Becca W.

and somehow, Izzy had an egg cracked on her head too so she is getting it washed out...

The girls all played a game called pass the present!! We read an Easter story with the words "left" and "right" all throughout. They had to pass the gifts either left or right when they heard the word. At the end, they each got to open the gift they had in their hands!



A group picture!! Isn't Tyler a lucky guy!! All these girls!!!!!

Gotta have the silly pics too!


What girl party is complete without a pyramid?


Later that night, registering the new Webkinz!
