Unicorn Birthday Party

Abby is ready to have a magical celebration with friends!

As the girls arrived, they discovered their unicorn names and played ring toss on the unicorn.

The themed treat table consisted of: unicorn horns (Bugles), unicorn food ('poop' not allowed per Abby/ rainbow marshmallows), unicorn treats (rainbow rice krispies), and the favorite, baby unicorn fur (cotton candy)!

The girls loved crafting their one of a kind unicorn sleep mask to take home.

Then they played a game of Pin the Horn on the colorful Unicorn. It's always funny to see where your pin lands!

Slime, Squishee, unicorn dress, earrings... :)

* Petrina, Quinn, Abby, Hadley *

All in Mrs. Daily's class...a unique bunch!

Abby had the luck of a magical unicorn and opened the pinata on the first string.

These beauties were delicious!

Magical Seven!

Trying on their sleep masks;

May all their Dreams Come True!

The next day we had family over for an extensive hot dog bar and more party with an easy unicorn cake.

Levi is always picking up new words. Today he learned unicorn!

A $26 kit from Amazon made this theme and cake super simple.

(included huge banner, sash, headband, cutlery, straws and paper ware, tablecloth, invites, cake topper!)

Now her birthday is officially over. Till next year of course.

Talent Show

For the church talent show, Lydia will be acting out a makeup tutorial, but she cannot use her arms. Ben will provide the arms. Abby is present to assist as needed.

They did a phenomenal job up on the stage entertaining a full house!

Happy 7th Birthday, Abigail!

"I just got my ears pierced!"

Before her 7th birthday, Abigail was ready to get her pretty little ears pierced!

We had a Mommy/Daughter date at the mall where she toggled only briefly between the amethyst and silver star before settling on the star. This girl usually has no trouble knowing what she wants.

Then we walked all around and took in the busy mall’s sights, smells, tastes, and feels.

Still beguiled by big cute baby animals.

My fiercely independent little lady in fur coat and glitter clad heels, just got her ears pierced at Claire's! 🤩

Winter Continues

What a blast from my childhood and pure hilarity watching kids look like newborn baby giraffes learning to stand for the very first time. 😂

A few weeks later Abby got good and confident with skating at Reese’s birthday party!

Why, YES!

We held it where Lydia & Abigail have been taking swim lessons for the past 5 years.

We invited family and all the girls in her class.

Ben's not afraid of the obstacle!

Lydia goes for it!

Woohoo, Danielle!

Abigail steady and sure!

Everybody in the water!

The cute cute cupcakes: teddy bears in inner tubes and lying on the beach :)

We had Papa John's pizza (had to be papa johns!), pool noodles (twizzlers), surf boards (oval pretzel crackers), veggies & dip ("take a dip!") and Hawaiian Punch.
