Happy Birthday Lexi!!!!

We had a Valentine Birthday party for Lexi's 5th birthday today. It was a fun day for everyone, including the dog, who my mother slipped a plate to... I think it will take me untill her 6th birthday to clean the resulting mess, but it was such a great day, that I think it was worth it! Enjoy the following pics!

There were hearts everywhere! We even hung them on the ceiling. It was commented that it looked like Cupid had thrown a tantrum in our house.

No party is complete without balloons and lots of them!

Getting set up. Lord, I HATE having my picture taken!

Beau and Rick

Ben and Deanna

Group shots of all the little ladies. And Joe in the backround. He just wanted cake.

Lexi and Delaney... best friends for almost three years!

Jasin's brother, Jack, was a huge hit with all the kids! Somehow, he ended up with most of the balloons. The next thing we knew, he was surounded by all the children who all the the best time with those balloons! It was so much fun to watch them - and Jack! How could I not include all these pictures?

Opening presents

My sister had the nerve to give Lex a Hannah Montana CD. In this picture, Lexi was informing everyone that she HATES Hannah Montana, and that Kaila could have it. I am so sorry Bri! Kaila loves it!

The cake was a hit! One of our little guests commented that it was "the best cake in the WHOLE WORLD!"

The aftermath. I guess it was a success! Even homeowrk seems like a better idea than cleaning this mess.
