clear understanding that ARIELLE is mine! (can't be too careful!)
adorable small brother (...whatever...)
PRESENTS!!!!!!!!!!! ('nuff said)
plenty of bubbles...for everyone! (excellent!)
hilarious running-around-outside games that adults cannot entirely understand (poor silly elderly dears!)
the element of surprise!!! (priceless)

ReplyDeletewhat a sweet little party!!! and i love your cute lil' quips...you always make me laugh...great pictures, it looks like everyone had a great time!!!
ReplyDeleteOoo, that Princess Madelin album(?) is AWESOME! As cool as it is you HAD to have made it!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Lol
ReplyDeleteThat does look like the perfect party! I know it was lots of fun. All the pics are so cute. Especially the brunette with the dimple with the hottie husband and the birthday girl and the pretty madeline pink album. And that cute baby brother!!!
ReplyDeleteI defy anyone to come up wth something better than scaring small children like that! Babyman is THE best at being scared witless in that whole surprise thing. Even now nearly seven years on it creases me up. bwha ha ha, BWH HA HA HA......
ReplyDeleteThe final picture of them laughing in the playhouse is my favorite ... oh how I wish we could all remember how good it feels to laugh like that on a daily basis.
