More of Emily's Birthday Party

Here are some random shots from Emily's birthday party which happened at our house.
Any of these photos are viewable in full size or 'grabbable' (is that a word?!) just by clicking on them and on the slide show it will take you to slide.com.

We were glad to have it here so we could all enjoy swimming and cooling off a bit in the 95 degree heat. It did rain about 30 minutes into the party, just long enough for all to gather in the porch and eat food and cake and open gifts.
Then it was back into the pool for another dip.

Jamie got a little green-eyed during the gift giving, but actually more so the night before when Mike took her to KMart to pick out the gift. Jamie picked out an Ariel doll who 'swims', had a floating inner tube and her hair turns color when wet. Jamie had a mini meltdown at one point, "But nobody is getting me any presents"

Emily's Birthday Party!

My Little Dancer

Jamie did fabulous in her first real recital. They didn't allow photos during the actual event, in fact I got in trouble for taking the photos of the girls in the dressing room. THe ones on the big stage were during the rehearsal that morning, in which Jamie joked around and made noises and poked the other girls. She was perfect for the actual performance though. We ordered the dvd and haven't gotten it yet.

The other photos were at her daycare where they performed as part of their 'program' for graduating from preVPK. It gave them the chance to run through it the day before the big day, Mike and I were both able to be there as well as my mom.

Mike's folks didnt end up coming so it was just a few friends afterwards for cake and food at our house by the pool.

Oh she was an elephant, they were elephants all in a line, dancing, dancing (Such a cute song, but I can't find it anywhere)
