Rylinn's 7th "Surfer Girl" Birthday

This year Rylinn wanted a "Surfer Girl" beach party. She designed her own cake with the help of a local bakery (it was cute and delicious!!). We packed up and headed to Huntington Beach for the weekend. Friends and family joined us for hot dogs and s'mores next to a bonfire. Rylinn had fun swimming in the ocean, building sandcastles, hanging out with her family and her friend Bailey!

Rylinn's 6th Birthday!

This year Rylinn decided to have a party with some friends from school. It was so much fun yet part of me finally realized how quickly she's growing up and how once the time is gone I can never get it back.


This was the first year she became very interested in hanging out with her friends. First, she enjoyed a little birthday celebration at school, then we had a pajama party (not a sleepover-I'm not that crazy!) with her friends. It was so much fun! The kids all wore their PJs and enjoyed playing games, especially Freeze Dance. The little girls' really enjoyed drinking a special punch out of plastic champagne glasses. They were so thrilled!


The kids made ice cream sundaes with "Birthday Cake" ice cream loaded with candy, sprinkles, chocolate and strawberry syrup. Oh boy, those were some interesting creations! Then we ate popcorn and watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua.


I had a lot of fun myself and some day I will miss these days!

Punch Recipe:
