Happy 7th Birthday Kaylee...

For Kaylee's Birthday Party, she wanted to have a swimming party at her Grandpa's house. We quickly decided on an Ariel theme (I loved the idea since it's probably the last year she will ever want a princess party. She's too old now!!!) Since it was a pool party, we decided to invite only a few guests, I didn't want to be responsible for too many lives! This is the only princess party we've ever had so I had so much fun planning and coming up with decorations for the party. Then the day of the party, it was a HUGE windstorm. None of the decorations worked. It figures. I know better then to unnecessarily over plan. The decorations for the table kept blowing over. Our beautiful princess table, kept ending up on the floor. So I kept trying to maintain things, instead of actually enjoying the party (thus my lack of pictures and my excuse for not applying sunscreen on me or my daughter. YIKES!) Luckily I had some extra hands their to help!

Kaylee was very happy when her friend Hallee showed up
in an identical swimming suit!

The girls had fun playing Ariel, Ariel, Flounder. Keep away from Ursula. and swimming around like Ariel. We had a lunch that consisted of Octopus hot dogs, fruit skewers, goldfish, and lemonade. They decorated their own flip flops with colorful ribbons. Had cupcakes and ice cream. Swam some more. And left with a goody bag fit for a princess.

Once we got home Kaylee was thrilled to find out she had a package waiting for her in the mail from her cousin's Josh and Avery. She immediately put on her beautiful new dress and jewelry that they had sent her. She was antsy the rest of the day, waiting for Dad to get home so she could open the rest of her gifts. Between friends, family, and grandparents, let's just say Kaylee got SPOILED this year! 

We were supposed to spend the rest of the night at ward swimming party. But Mom and Kaylee were FRIED! No more sun for us. We made her all beautiful, she wanted her hair in a heart, and the rest all curly.
And we went out to dinner somewhere with Kaylee's favorite meal- Fettuccine Alfredo!
We finished the night off by going to the movies and seeing the Karate Kid.
It was a wonderful day, spent with a wonderful little girl. Kaylee is so fun to be around (as long as she gets her beauty rest) and can always make you smile. She always has something kind to say about everybody. I love having this little girl in my life. She is absolutely delightful.
