Marin Dalby's Birthday Bash

We had a great time at Dalby's birthday this year! We invited some friends over to play in the water and eat sandwiches and cake. The party was on a weekday morning(Dalby's actual birthday). It isn't ideal for everyone but summer weekends get so busy and if you want to do any sort of outdoor activity in TN these days, mornings are a must! We set up the pool. (Ryan got the pool out and luckily figured out how to modify the air compressor to pump up the pool because I didn't think about the fact that the pool needed to be inflated....). We brought out the pink lemonade, Uncrustables, Goldfish and muffins and the kids played. Bridget, Blake and Millie (the older kids in the pictures) had fun with the younger ones and also created their own fun soaking each other throughout the morning. The cupcakes and the toppers were a hit with Dalby. She loves Daisy Duck. Ever since her last birthday she has talked non-stop about having a Daisy Duck cake. Ryan and I did consider and research making a Daisy Duck cake but as the party approached and we reminded each other of the time consuming process last year and the fact that it was Daisy Duck versus Mickey Mouse....we decided Etsy would be a great resource for cupcake toppers. The "streamers" were an idea I got from a blog. We are going to do that again to decorate for my mom's birthday in September. A fun morning and great afternoon naps were reported from all party goers parents - success all around!
