Rebecca's 6! Celebrations!

Here are the photos from her actual birthday on April 26th!

 

 

 

 

hehehe...soon after these pictures she said, "I don't feel so good!!!" and we had to rush her out of there.   It's no wonder, slurping chocolate milk and root beer together.  Terrible!!  But her birthday is a 'yes' day, where all requests (within reason) are approved.

Celebrating with Mimi and Papa (the Sunday after)

 

and Laner, Kim, and Logan!

 

 

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!

Rebecca's 6! Under the Sea Party!

There were 22 kids and lots of helpers :)  I was a little worried about keeping track of everyone and logistics.  Rebecca was insistent that she didn't want to leave anyone out and, as a sensitive soul myself, I decided that I had the time and energy for a big party this year.  And if she wanted to include everyone, I wanted to encourage her to do that.  So...yah...22 kids.  And lots of helpers!  I know the party was a success, not because she said so, but because sometime during the party, she randomly grabbed my hand and kissed it!

 

 

we started out watching a cartoon

then we split into groups for games:  "pin the fish in the fish bowl" and

 bowling
(so glad my momma could help!)

fishing game

ball toss
(the bowling, fishing, and ball toss games were made by Omi!)

 

 

 

 

everyone got together for a treasure hunt with pirate Jorg.
then cake:

Here are most of the kids!  They are all from our neighborhood, except for Addie and Natalie.
