Happy Birthday, Little One!

Every year we start off with Little One's birthday in mid-January.  It's always so fun. :)  This year we live in a different place and as such, there are friends here that actually do birthday parties.  There are a few little girls in the neighborhood with birthdays all together.  While I've always been of the opinion of parties are for "big" ones like 8, 12, and 16, this year we did just a little get-together with some of her friends.  I'm already planning next year's party, but this one was very low key.

First though, we had our family party the night before.  Kyle came over, as usual, as did my "sister" Patrice and her kids.  My other very good friend, Kierstin, also came with her family.  It was really nice to let the kids play while we adults visited.  The pie Little One requested was also very yummy. :)












Next, was the "friend" party on her actual birthday.  One of the other little girls shares her birthday.  Same day, same year.  So, even though it wasn't a joint party, we sang to both girls. :)

She picked out Tangled stuff. :)


Mom made her a new dress.  Cute, huh? :)


First we had a game of who could build the tallest marshmallow tower.


Then they combined efforts.
We also did musical chairs but I didn't have any good pictures from that.

Finally we played spin the nail polish bottle.  Each finger was a different color until everyone had them all done.
