Nora's Birthday

Nora wanted a swim party for her birthday for most of this year. We decided to split it into two days, with cake in the evening so everyone could be there and swimming for the kids the next morning.

Less than a week before the party, she informed me she wanted a flip flop cake. After some brainstorming, we figured we could use the previous cake plan and add the flip flop decoration. Turned out so cute!


Six candles!!


Love her reactions. She has the best surprise/happy face. 


Next morning we set up and filled seven wading pools and a water table in Grandma's backyard. Given that we were expecting 11 kids between the ages of 1 and 10, we figured it was prudent to have multiple play stations. We ended up with so many pools, which was so awesome. 


I somehow didn't get a wide angle shot of all the pools, but you can see 6 of them in this picture. 


So much fun with cousins and friends. 


Everyone was more than ready for pizza when the time came. Thanks to Heather for completely taking care of lunch - I didn't realize how much help I was going to need!


So much love for this adorable and energetic little six year old. She's my kitchen helper, my snuggle buddy, and my little princess!
