Last weekend, we celebrated Lily's "7 1/2" birthday with a pool party! After two failed attempts to have this birthday party during her actual birthday in December, we thought it might be fun to try the "1/2". It worked out perfectly and was a great way for all of the kids to kick off summer break starting in a just a couple of weeks!
Pool party decor! Cheese balls were "beach balls" and veggie straws were "pool noodles". Kept it real simple. Grandma B. made some yummy sandwiches and brought fruit as well. The kids did not leave hungry, that's for sure! The cupcakes were the most fun to make. Lily helped decorate and I realized slowly during the decorating process that she was taking over! I could feel myself starting to get frustrated as she was instructing ME on the next steps in my "assembly line" process! She is definitely my child :)
We had 16 kids total that came to the party! I'm certain I did not get all of them in a picture, but this was the best attempt I had at lining the majority of them up before they hit the pool. They were itching to get in that pool ASAP!
Photog Aunt Sarah and Ashley! Always love having them there to help capture the memories :)

This is not the best picture, but a huge hit of the party was the "high dive". Lily has attempted this once before but was a pro this time. Maryanna and Powell were attempting flips, and even Christopher jumped off into the arms of Uncle Chris! Daredevil kids!
Singing happy "1/2" birthday to Lily!
