A Funny Thing Happened at Applebee's
We went to Applebee's with Charles and Kristin for dinner. Ellie was asleep on my lap, so Aria decided to go hang out at the bar. The bar tender was super sweet and let her hang out and tell him all about goodness knows what. Then she decided to order a blue margarita. He made her a blue milkshake "margarita" and she sat there and sipped and talked for over an hour! Such a crack up! 
Skate Nite
Our church hosts two community skate nights a year to minister to the community. We helped pass out flyers the week before, then had an awesome time skating with everyone at the event!
The Trumpet
We went to a homeschool music event in July and, for some reason, Aria really took to the trumpet. The director was impressed that she played as well as she did at her young age. Aria has talked about playing trumpet often since then so we decided to pull out Gabe's old trumpet for her birthday. She's in love! We'll see how she develops and how her attention span for it goes before springing for lessons, but so far so good!
Goodbye CA!
We got to spend the day at the beach with the Colgan family, Grammy and Papa and all of us! It was a beautiful day. :-) Later on, we went to Farrell's for grandma's birthday dinner. Such a wonderful way to end our trip to California for the year!
Aria's 5th Birthday
A RoyalTea Party
We had so much fun celebrating Aria's 5th birthday in true princess style! She enjoyed every minute in her pink and gold, girly sparkle splendor! It was such a treat to celebrate with all her favorite CA girlfriends and I was so thankful we were able to do this for her. Love you, my sweet princess!
Setting the stage...
Getting ready...
Gettin' our nails did!
I might possibly have overdone it on the cakes...maybe. ;)
Beautiful Princess Aurora
Tea time for the princesses! And mommies and grandmommies!
No kingdom was unrepresented: We had Anna, Elsa, Aurora, Rapunzel, Sofia, and Cinderella!
Trip to California!
Grammy and Papa got the girls a cool sprinkler toy! It was a hit!
Aria decided that since she was five, and a big girl, she could try new things, like chocolate cake! I think she liked it. :-)
Aria got her first big girl Lego set for her fifth birthday. :-) Mom did most of the work, but Aria enjoyed helping! I think she will really love these as she grows up.
Papa and princess Nikki.
We took the girls to Disneyland for Aria's actual birthday. She loved going as Ariel and made sure everyone knew who she was! We had such a fun day and stayed until closing time!
Sofia was a huge hit, of course.
We also got to spend a day at the Long Beach aquarium with Amy and Joziah Colgan. So much fun!
Ellie wanted her picture taken with the mannequin at Target. :)
