birthday luau

We celebrated Emma Taylor's 8th birthday with a backyard luau on Saturday!  She had a ball and I think the other girls did too.  Most of the girls were Emma Taylor's classmates and lots of them hadn't seen each other since school finished up a month ago.

Here are some of the first guests in their grass skirts and leis!  So cute!

Lots of girls!

 The whole (soon to be 3rd grade) crew...  

Ali Grace, LilyCate, Avery Kate, Emma Taylor, Maddie, Hanna, Sarah, Addi, Lexie and Natalie

They LOVED the Slip-n-Slide!

 Even Harrison joined the fun!

The water at the end of the slide got filthy from the mud hole that the kids created in yard, but they didn't seem to mind!

Time for cake and ice cream...

 Silly girl!

 Cooling off with some ice cream.

 Opening presents...

The birthday party was lots of fun and the girls were all so sweet and well-behaved!  Summer birthdays are FUN!  Hope you had a fantastic time at your party, Emma Taylor.  Til next year...
