Last year we realized that Meredith's birthday falls within a couple of days of not one, but two of her friends from her cheerleading team and Girl Scout troop. So I got together with Addie and Peyton's moms and we decided we could simplify life by doing a party together for all of those girls! Peyton just moved into a new house with a pool, so it was the perfect location - until there were threats of storms all day Sunday! We started scrambling for a plan b - we ended up planning a few indoor activities and hoped for the best! Luckily, the skies cleared and the girls got to swim as planned. Hooray!
The birthday girls did a plunge together!
Addie's mom made the girls their own individual cakes.
Time to sing to the birthday girls.
Since they looked like 1 year old smash cakes, the girls started being silly!
And there was lots of blue icing all over each of them!
Next up - a silly string fight!
The girls had a blast with the silly string and the swimming! Such a fun day!
Later that week, we all got together again to go by Mission Arlington. The girls collected school supplies instead of gifts. The helpers at Mission Arlington let the girls take the donations up to the school supply room and showed them how needed those supplies were and how appreciative everyone was - then they sang them a special birthday song! It definitely helped the girls really appreciate what they had done.
