HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISSA!! March 25, 2011 Day party!!

Birthdays at our house start with your favorite breakfast. My kids always pick waffles. It's basically a dessert with whip cream and fresh fruit, throw on some sugar and your on a sugar high for hours.

Luke is in to it.

Marissa's birthday party starts off with a movie with Mindy and Zoe.

Oliver came along but Luke had to stay home with a babysitter.

After the movie we grabbed some Mcdonalds drive through. Picked up Luke, dropped off the babysitter and went to The Play Factory. We love this place.

Mindy and Marissa, taking a 3 second break from running around.

Oliver and Luke loved every second.

At one point I had to make everyone stop and rest. They were all red in the face like Marissa in this photo. We stopped and had a rest and a big drink.

Then back home for cake and ice cream. Wow!! what an adventure. Even Marissa's birthday cake had an adventure getting to this point.

Super cute group of kids.

We bought the cake this year and at one point it got tipped on its side on the way to the car. Then while we were unloading the cart I asked Andrew to put it in the front so it wouldn't tip again. After unloading I got everyone in and jumped in. I went to secure the cake before pulling out and couldn't find it. I asked Andrew and he said he put it in the front. We argued back and forth for a second before he says. "Oh, I put it in the front of the car." So I found the cake on the ground in front of the van. Then I understood why he was concerned someone would steal it when I first asked him to put it in the front. HEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOO KITTY!!

The kids had some very colorful cupcakes and after opening some great presents from her friends the day party was over.
