Jessica's 5th Birthday!

I have picked certain years that my kids get to have big birthday parties ( friends, decorations, etc.). So this is Jessy's first big party....Her 5th birthday! I decided to be a little bit better and actually theme her party. Poor Kaitlyn has the oldest child syndrome, I try everything out on her. Anyways the theme was "Under the Sea".
I had Kate invite a little too many friends last year and I was a little overwhelmed so we kept it to how ever old you are is how many you invite. She was really excited for all her gifts that she got (yeah more teeny tiny toy pieces to clean up).
When she as done opening all her presents I sent them all on a treasure hunt to find the goodie bags. I had typed up these clues and decided to make them look like "real old" clues. So I got my BBQ lighter to help authenticate these clues. Yeah, so computer paper burns really, really fast and when you have a large flame trying to blow it out doesn't work ( sorry I was blonde when I was younger). Thank heavens I was by the kitchen sink for a quick extinguish. I think I singed my eyebrows though; I hope they'll grow back!
In the goodie bags were these earrings so I lined everyone up to show off their earrings. It kind of turned into a goofy pic. I guess some of them thought I was taking a mug shot!
Don't gasp in awe, I did not make this cake. I did that last year with Kaitlyn's and this year I thought better of it. Jessy totally loved this cake, it was really cute and yummy too (Ryan really enjoyed the yummy part)!


FYI: I now have two 5 year olds and they are not twins! What a fun thought!
