Happy 9th Birthday, Sis!

For Carli's 9th birthday- we kept it pretty low key. We let the girls shoot some hoops while listening to one of Carli's favorite cd. A mix that this girl made her.

She also made up her own game to play at her party. A hot potato game with a basketball. Except when you got "out" you got to take 2 shots. If you made a basket in those 2 shots, then you could still play- but if you missed- then you were out. The girls were super good sports and cheered each other on. It was super cute to watch



I think McKenna got "out" the most- but made the most baskets too. (She was on fire!!!)

Look at this perfect shot of Sydney's- Suh-weet!

Afterward- they came in for pizza from our favorite pizza place

Next, it was time for cupcakes. (Basketball ones of course!)

I like how Carli is holding Jack away from the candles in this picture. Even when it is her day- she is such a little mother!

We did an ice cream bar last year and had so much fun with it- that we decided to do it again.

Ice cream gives girls the "Sillies"

When tummies were full (okay, stuffed) we decided to unwrap the gifts.


And then we sent each girl home with a goodie bag to remember the festivities with.

Happy Birthday Beautiful Baby Girl of mine!
I hope all of your 9 year old Dreams come true!!!
