Maggie's 4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Maggie's 4th birthday last weekend.

Her actual birthday isn't for another 2 days, but that weekend will be filled with graduation ceremonies for me, and we had to do a little compromising! It's hard to be in two places at once :)

We did her party at the park nearby again, but it had been really rainy and stormy leading up to the party, so I told everyone to bring their rain-gear because I didn't have a back-up location.

The weather actually cooperated and we had a great time.

Once again, Meemaw came into town to help out with the decorations, cupcakes, goody bags, and everything else I hadn't thought of yet.  She is always such a great help when it comes to birthday parties, as I usually end up super stressed out and need someone there to help keep me calm!

Meemaw bought some special balloons for the big day

I swear, you give a kid a balloon and they will be entertained for hours

Love this cute one of Maggie

The party was "frozen" theme, which pretty much meant there was an Elsa pinata and some frozen cupcake toppers.  Maggie was tickled pink and loved it all!

Since the party was out at a park, we did a quick scavenger hunt (looking for outdoor items such as grass, flowers, sticks, etc) and then made a snack necklace out of cereal, licorice, life savers, etc.  They had a blast with these activities and did a great job with them.

Even the Texas cousins were in town (Grammie had a special surprise retirement party the day before that they drove up for)

It's always so nice to see them!

The kids hard at work stringing their necklaces

Maggie was such a goober, she wouldn't blow out her candle, so luckily her friends helped her out!

Enjoying some cupcakes and ice cream

Caitlin took this super cute picture of Chris and Daniel

Can't believe how big Gordy is getting these days.  I just love his blonde mullet he is sporting!

Tiff and Chad and Meemaw came back to our house after the party to celebrate Chad's 36th birthday that day.  He didn't want 'frozen' theme, thank goodness.

The older boys there entertained themselves playing some baseball and frisbee.

It ended up being a wonderful day  - but don't even get me started that my little girl is now FOUR years old.
