Taylors Mermaid Birthday Extravaganza!!

so lets start out by saying that its the night of the party and i am so tired i cant even see straight, my house is A DISASTER, and i am choosing to blog about this. the day was seriously PERFECT! i could not have asked for a better time, and taylor told me at dinner that this was the best day of her life, wow i did good!!i stayed up untill 2 a.m. finishing her decorations with my friend nikki. I had the two sweetest girls in the world volanteer to make taylors cake, which by the way turned out ADORABLE. they were so nice to do that. they brought it over late that night and stayed to help out for a little while. i seriously dont know what i would have done without them. when taylor woke up that morning she seriously freaked out! she was sooooo excited! we had some friends over for cake and some games, and of course presents. we made some mermaid juice and everyone loved it. there was also a treasure hunt where they kids got treasure chest full of treats at the end. after all the guys left for work we all went to the splash pad for like 4 hours. then of course we were starving so the girls and i went to olive garden to have her b-day dinner(minus donnie). all in all it was such a good day. like i said taylor had such a good day! i cant believe she is 6. when i went in to give her one last birthday kiss and say goodnight i got teary eyed of course. she is my baby, well not any more. she is such a beautiful sweet girl, who helps out all the time. we are so blessed to have her in our lives!

what a nice helper! the decorations that took me 4 days to make.(with some help from friends, love you guys)!!

I love it. Your girls are so precious and amazing. The fact that Skyler is Cache's new girlfriend and Taylor and I share a birthday just makes them that more special to me. Thanks for making my birthday a special day as well. Your girls are so cute. We had a blast. Thanks again. The food was great and the decorations were cute. Cache has been playing with his treasure chest all night. (oh and he has a stomach ache from the 100 cookies he ate!)

I wish Tay could have had her cousins there! All of them my kids and Nikkis, that would have been so neat! Im so glad she had a good day!

Look at you little artistic mama! So cute! I didn't let ben look at the pictures because I didn't want him to want a mermaid b-day party :)

Jen, oh my MERMAIDS!! What a GREAT party! You and Nikki did an amazing job! You are both such GREAT, SWEET, CREATIVE and FUN Mommies. I am so very impressed. Ryder even looked like he had a blast with the pretty mermaids!! I LOVE your girls. It makes me sad to think I probably won't see them again till next summer!! Enjoy them while they are this age, it is such a magical time!
