A Dream Come True

For several years now, Whitney has been wanting to have a water party of some sort. I think she gets jealous of Landon because his August birthday almost always involves a pool party or outside party that her October birthday doesn't allow. I'm not sure why we haven't done this before, but I finally gave the go-ahead on her "party".




The invitation, which only went to the 3 friends she invited because Bella and Tess were invited by me making a phone call to Amy.


These .94 cent squirt bottles from Wal-Mart are the best squirt guns around.


One of the the friend's couldn't come, so it was just Payton, Madison, Tess, Whitney and Bella (all her favorite friends).


Whitney's menu requests were Powerade, popcorn (with M&Ms in it of course), strawberries (I added watermelon) and ice cream cones.


These 5 played outside for 5 hours and only came inside to use the bathroom!


I was rather pleased with my fruit display, though disappointed in the watermelon because it was rather bland.


I wish it was this easy to make every dream come true!

Sounds like a great day with lots of fun in the sun. Making dreams come true is a gift for the giver and the receiver.

You're on the count down to the big 40...any plans?

What an idea! It looks great and even better that they all played outside for 5 hours. I love low maintenance parties!

I too wish it were that easy to make every dream come true!

Way to make her day/week/summer?

Looks like fun! Luci's b'day is in winter and she always wishes for a summer b'day party. Griffin's is in July and he always wants a winter b'day like Luci. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side!

I love the squirt bottle idea.

Summertime Jill!

Very nice of you to take this on, and very nice for you that the children entertained themselves for so long.

I love Whitney for having such a sweet dream. I'm jealous of summer birthdays as well. People just aren't in a good mood in February!

Good for you! Sometimes we don't take these easy opportunities to make our kids so happy. Glad she had fun. :)
