Lucy's 6th birthday party

We had Lucy's birthday party last week since her Daddy will be out of town on her birthday. I still can't believe that she is getting ready to be 6 years old! We went to the splash pad and swimming pool at Tanglewood; originally, we had planned on doing this on a weekday but ended up having to go on a Sunday afternoon. It was very crowded and we didn't get to swim long but it didn't seem to bother Lucy. Of course, we promised her that we would come back soon! ;)

I don't have any pictures from swimming. . .it's difficult to take pictures at the pool! I spent my time going back and forth between Alex, who wanted to be held the entire time and Charlie, who wanted to do it all by himself even though he has no idea how to swim. ;)

After swimming, we went to the picnic shelter to have our dinner and open presents. Poppa showed the kids how the water pump worked and it was just as exciting as being in the splash pad! :)

We had pizza for dinner from one of Lucy's favorites, Cicciones. 

After our pizza, it was time for cupcakes. Lucy wanted to have cookies and cream cupcakes for her birthday but we got some vanilla cupcakes in case anyone wanted something different. I don't know what we'll do next year - it was hard to get 6 candles on one cupcake!!

We went to Whole Foods to get some vegan cupcakes so that the boys wouldn't get left out!

Uncle Michael and Rosa had some snuggle time too. :)

Then it was time to open presents. The boys wanted to help Lucy and she was very gracious to allow them to help her.

Lucy got lots of cute clothes and new books but what she was most excited about was her Barbie size princess dolls. :) She has been asking for these and was just thrilled to not only have princess dolls but their princes as well.

The first thing we had to do when we got home was get all of our dolls out to play!

Silly boys!

We tried to get a picture with Uncle Day Day since we don't get to see him very often . . . 

Unfortunately this was the best we could do! (It was close to bedtime so we had some really silly kids!)

Lucy got one though with Uncle Day Day :) 

I can't believe that I will have a 6 year old in my house at the end of this week! Of course, with Lucy, we have been celebrating for about a week and a half now and will celebrate some more for the rest of the week. She told us at the beginning of June that it was her "birthday month." :) Here's to more celebrating!!
