Pool Party

Kate wanted to have a Pool Party for her 5th Birthday. We invited some friends and went to an indoor pool then came back for pizza, fruit, capri suns, cupcakes and ice cream. The kids played and opened presents. They had fun and Kate loved swimming with all her friends.
We told Kate this was her fake birthday because her real birthday was on Saturday and we'd be at my parent's house for Memorial Day weekend. I think she was okay with getting to celebrate her birthday twice. She would tell her friends, "you have to sing happy birthday to me." :) She's SOOOO excited to turn 5 because then that means she gets to go to Kindergarten. (We registered her already and went to an orientation. When we were walking down the hallway at the school Kate was skipping along loudly saying, "I'm so excited, I get to go to kindergarten!" We all felt her enthusiasm- even though I'm sad she's growing up!)

I made these cupcakes from an idea I found online. I love getting cute ideas online and copying them. The bear lounging in the inner tube was too cute. The kids loved playing with the umbrellas.

Opening presents...how fun!

Cute pool cake. I can't believe Kate is so old. She's only a year behind Jillian in school.
