Carly's Party! Warning: Photo overload!

Sorry it's blurry...but this was our table. Carly picked the tablecloth and we matched all of the accessories to the daisy centers...Carly had such a fun time with me at the party store...she's definitely my daughter. When she saw the party hats she started jumping up and down and clapping. It was GREAT!

I took these photos about an hour before the party started - the pavilions are all open, but you have to get there early before other people set up. Luckily even though it was eight million degrees outside, the food held up at least until our friends arrived. The cupcakes were on a bag of ice! A friend of ours had offered to bring them later, but I couldn't find her house!

The cuppy cakes! I was so flattered that everyone asked where we got them...but I guess it's Duncan Hines who should be flattered since I they are the ones who really made them! =) And as for the cough-syrup flavored pink icing...the kids LOVED it.
Favors! I cannot tell you how badly Carly wanted to open these while they were sitting on our table!

The arrow is pointing to the sprayground...sometimes little kids try to drink from the fountains and then they get tummy aches! Hopefully our clever signs worked, and they were drinking bottled water and juice instead. =)

Carly and Grace from school waiting for the big buckets to dump out.

I have these photos of Paul and Carly at the beach when Carly was this age. =)

Carly and Owen enjoying some shark teeth! No one wanted them when they were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...but we called them shark teeth and they disappeared!

That's Grady in the cool yellow cap. Carly and Addison were inseparable. We owe a BIG THANK YOU to Miss Jenny (Addy's mama)for sweating it out in the 101 degree heat, being 30 weeks pregnant and trying to soothe my cranky baby while I loaded up the car! You are amazing!

Addy, Carly, Emily enjoying some snacks right before we did singing and cupcakes. I didn't get ANY shots of Carly opening her awesome presents, but she was really cute. When our first guest brought a gift, Carly said, "Is THAT for MEEE??? Oh thank you so much!" It was super sweet.

Bree enjoyed the pink icing...too bad for her I'm never letting anyone pick cherry icing again. It is soooo yucky...but you'd never know it from looking at this face!

Then my studly husband saved the day and blew up the baby pool that Miss Kim had the genius to bring.

It really helped keep the tiny ones corralled and happy.

This is (the back of) Jett. He is four weeks older than Bree and he's a beast - in this photo he actually looks smaller than her, but trust me...he's not.

Okay so maybe "corralled" isn't the right word...

Carly enjoying yet another cupcake...(that's Rylee, Madison and Camryn in the background, with their mamas)

My sweet little birthday girl wanted to wear her party hat to her nap. So cute!
