With Elise's fourth birthday in June and Alina turning two in August, we decided to throw the both of them a very special double birthday party last weekend. On the ticket this year was a summer rainbow birthday party! Miss Elise chose the rainbow theme this year, so as usual mommy and grandma planned the brightest and most fun party possible for our two sweet birthday girls. With over four years experience, we're quickly becoming pros at this whole party planning gig. Our banner making is getting faster, our decorations easier, but more importantly the fun and kids multiply with each passing year. There were plenty of new little faces this year, and it was a joy to watch all the kids play together. The bounce house water slide was a hit yet again, and while Elise and Alina were hesitant to go down the slide at first, they gained some courage by the end of the party and really enjoyed it.
I always have to give a shout out to Cake and Candy Specialities, of Citrus Heights, for the amazing birthday cakes. I've been going there for a few years now and they never disappoint. They made two amazing and delicious rainbow birthday cakes that everyone enjoyed. The girls were jumping up and down with joy when they first saw the cakes, so mission accomplished! They both had ear-to-ear grins when everyone sang them "Happy Birthday", and amazingly they also sat through opening ALL their gifts. They were entertained the entire time, and they are two very lucky girls because they got completely spoiled by all our wonderful family and friends. Thanks again to everyone who shared in their special day with us. Our girls feel so loved and fortunate to have all of you in their lives. It was a wonderful day, and momma is now looking forward to relaxing again until next summer when the party planning kicks into high gear. To be honest, I am thinking double parties may be the way to go, they both had the best time. Happy birthday to our two beautiful girls!
