one of the benefits of having your children's birthdays so close to each other (in my case, two days apart) is that you get to do one party and then call it a year. one of the disadvantages of this is that you're exhausted from all the birthday-ing. this year we had Cameron's birthday on a Thursday, the party Friday evening and then Mayden's birthday on Saturday. whewww
another cold & rainy day in NJ forced us to try out Cameron's new water table in the bathroom. they didn't seem to mind one bit!

some birthday kids ready to party
s'mores was the name of the game @ this party

serving cake at 8pm... sorry mamas!!
Mayden and her friend from school, Julia
this balloon tent got a lot of use that night!
roasting (marshmallows) over an open fire
yes, another s'more... i did it for the kids
May-May had a great idea... "let's sleep in the tent tonight?!" so we did! her very first tent experience, did we make it through the night?
yes we did!
good morning birthday girl!
our painting project... the party guests painted these at random for the kids. i used stickers to write their names and then once the paint dried this is what we got. awesomeness!
nothing says rainy day birthday like Chuckie Cheese.
all in all it was a really great three days! the party ended up being a hit. i usually come away from my parties feeling like no one had fun but this time things were different. the weather was great (we got the one day it didn't rain w/i the last two weeks!), i was able to talk to every one and i even had two cups of tea! i'm glad we survived and thrived. this next year of the kids lives is sure to bring many changes & much fun. a few more pictures here.
