Happy Birthday Fiona

We celebrated Fiona's birthday a few days early. We had a backyard painting and swimming party. We had a great time with all of our friends painting and splashing and running through the grass. Fiona's been really excited about her party all week. Every time I talk about getting things or getting ready for the party, Fiona pats her tummy and says with a big smile "ME," she's also learned to say "TWO." We had a painted pot birthday theme, all the kids got to paint their own ceramic pots to take home. Then it was on to the water games in the pool and running through the sprinkler. The sprinkler was a clear favorite for Luli, Eleanor, and Hannah. Others found it delightful to stand and wait for the startling sprinkle on the face, then run with glee. We had some dry fun as well, the tent was set up with pillows and blankets, the sandbox was open and the playroom was easily accessible! After the party the girls both went down for naptime, Luli procrastinated a bit in falling asleep but Fiona fell asleep almost instantly.

Here's a picture of Fiona and Luli all dressed in their party dresses. They didn't last long, quickly replaced by bathing suits!

I'll do another post later all about Fiona and the wonderful new fun things she can do, and say!

Check out the pics on the sidebar also, I uploaded more party fun there.
