Rachel's 4th Birthday - 12/6/08


Rachel's actual birthday is on December 2nd, but her party was on December 6th. She had a Candyland birthday party theme. I made her cake so there are several pictures of the cake on here. It turned out pretty cute! She was such a hoot at her party. I was very impressed when she opened her gifts. She wasn't greedy and didn't rip them all open in a few minutes. She took her time, enjoyed looking at each gift, and gave hugs for each one. A couple of gifts turned her into a diva for a few minutes and it was so funny! She had a feather boa around her neck, sunglasses on, bracelets around her wrist, her purse on her elbow, and was texting and talking on her cell phone also. Pictures don't show the whole story. I wish I could load the video. It was priceless! Well, here are a few pics. Enjoy!


The Birthday Girl!


"I'm 4!"




Here's a recipe I learned about at Rachel's party:

How to make a Diva:



1. Get a feather boa



2. Mix with a purse



3. Next add a cell phone



4. Combine a pair of sunglasses and some bracelets




5. Text message for 2 minutes




And tada - you have a diva!

Joshua's 1st Birthday - 11/15/08

Baby Sesame Street 1st Birthday was the theme.


Joshua loves Elmo, so that's why we picked this.


Isn't it cute?

I think Scot was more excited about this outfit than Joshua!


Rachel was a big helper opening gifts!

Joshua wasn't sure he wanted to share his toys!

Joshua didn't like the cake too much!

He did enjoy a few bites.
