We had fun celebrating Lydia's birthday. I sure enjoyed looking for all things red, white and blue. I hope she doesn't get tired of patriotic birthday parties. How does red, white, blue and pink sound? Uncle Sam meets the Disney Princesses?
This year we hosted a barbecue and had a few friends come over.
The kids helped me get ready with a little dollar store DIY making these patriotic window boxes for the playhouse. They are just so cute, I had to share a lot of pictures.
At the party everyone had fun playing outside
Lydia was very dainty with her cake, she just picked at the berries on top. Even after I cut it open for her, she just picked up little pieces. This is as messy as she got!
Here's her cute little cake before:
We had lots of patriotic and picnic goodies:
Later that evening we let Lydia (or rather Owen) open her presents.
We spent Matt's birthday at home with just our family.
I asked Owen what we should do for Daddy's birthday, and his suggestion was donuts, so that's what we did!

For this milestone birthday, I gathered 30 gifts. Some were big, some small, some silly, some sentimental.
Owen, once again, was a good helper at opening them all.
Happy Birthday, Matt! We love you!
Yay for summer birthdays!
Alyssa, You are so crafty! I love the window boxes and the cute flag decorations. Two special birthdays for two amazing people! I love it.
