Well, well, well I certainly have been MIA here on the blog. We have been crazy busy with play dates, sleep overs, a couple vacations for Lexi and lots of projects around the house for Mike and I. But in the midst of all the craziness we did find time to celebrate Logan's fifth birthday and Kamryn's seventh (and a half) birthday.
There seemed to be a little confusion as to why we combined their party this year. So here's the short of it. Back in December Kamryn decided she wanted to have her first "friend party". We invited all of the girls from her class and out of about 12 girls only 3 rsvp'd and 1 out of the 3 couldn't make it. (I hear this is totally normal now a days when it comes to rsvp'ing. Cmon people!) Lord love my Kamryn she still wanted to have that party so we planned to go on and have the party anyways. But the morning of her party we got hit with a blizzard and the bowling alley closed for the day. Sadly, we had to cancel the party. Kamryn was so understanding BUT was very vocal about how this would've never happened if she had a summer birthday. That afternoon her and Logan came to me with a plan, they would celebrate their birthdays together in July. So from there on we knew we would have one big party for the two of them. Well, it wasn't a "big" party...just their aunt and uncles, GranDee & Pappi, and 2 close friends but...they loved it.

| I think they're just a little excited |
Listen, my kids can be brats just like any other kids but when it comes to parties, which I've always kept relatively small, they are so appreciative we have a party at all. So they didn't sharing at all. When Kamryn was born on New Years Eve EVERYONE told me I should give her half birthday parties instead of trying to celebrate it so close to Christmas. I think they might be on to something....
We did a pirate/mermaid party and it was perfect!
I had a lot of fun setting up the table half mermaid and half pirate. I swear to you, I was meant to have boy/girl twins! I've always said that. Aren't the colors so pretty?
As always I kept it cheap and simple. I bought all the paper products at the dollar store and just grabbed a couple pirate and Little Mermaid decorations at the party store. I took Ariel and Flounder off the Little Mermaid decorations so they were strictly just mermaid. I am not a fan of characters. Character bedrooms, decorations, clothes, etc....I'm just like my mother in this way. I used to hate it as a kid but now I TOTALLY get it!!
We just grilled burgers and hot dogs along with store bought pasta salad and potato salad. Good stuff and easy peasy!
My big 7.5 year old and 5 year old!
Where did my babies go?!?
Happy Birthday Kamryn & Logan!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if we'll ever celebrate their birthdays together again BUT this was definitely fun for a change. We'll see what happens come December! ;)
Happy Monday!! Have a great day!!!
