Natalie's Family Birthday Party

We usually have Natalie's family birthday on her actual birthday, but this year we are having her friends birthday party on her actual birthday so we had to flip flop it! We decorated her party with pink zebra stripes - because zebras and giraffes are her favorite!








I even found a pink zebra costume for Max, so he could be the official "party animal"!! He didn't think it was a good idea.


Getting ready to blow out the candles!




Make a wish!




Natalie asked for books this year and she got some great ones from her Aunt Suzanne!




Opening her gift from Jared and Michele.


Julia thought maybe she could help read the card!


I think she likes it!


I am so mad that this is blurry, but not surprised, because she was so excited!


Two wonderful books from Carol!


And this one especially because she loves animals and wants to be a vet!


Opening Pa Pa Don's gift.




This photo is her realizing that we do pay attention to what she look's at when we are out shopping together.



Opening Mi Mi and Pa Pa's gifts!








Mi Mi and Pa Pa never forget the non-birthday girl, so Julia scored a glow-in-the-dark horse puzzle!


She also got an I Spy Bingo game!


Natalie and I are terrible at I Spy - in this photo she is saying, "I am NOT going to play that! I will loose!"



Pa Pa Don and Julia.


With Uncle Jared!


Mi Mi and Pa Pa with their gang!


Suzanne with the girls.


Suzanne with her boyfriend, Garret, his son, Brice (the 7 year old) and Braxton a child they were babysitting. The girls had a great time playing with Brice!


It's almost someone's birthday!

Time to start the countdown for 8 years old!


On Friday I took Natalie and Acacia out of school and to lunch so Acacia could give her her gift!








Time to hand out Natalie's treats to her classmates!





Natalie's class singing to her.

We just love our pup!
