Ashby's 5th Birthday Party!

We decided to have the party at the Coconut Bowl this year. It has a huge indoor play structure with balls, tunnels, slides, etc. The kids love it there. They also have video games and bowling. Ashby had such a great time. The Cake. No, I did NOT make this! I haven't gotten into making the cakes myself....YET!

This is the hairstyle we tried for the party. She wanted it to look like a princess. Here is the blog I got the idea from: http://cute2tryhairdos.blogspot.com/2008/08/braids-into-messy-bun.htmlThe party crew! Ashby is lucky to have a lot of cousins who live close by. This year we also let Ashby invite 2 friends to her party who were not family. She loved having her friends there! Let the games begin! All the girls LOVED playing the race cars......those are my kind of girls!Happy Birthday Dear Ashby....Enjoying the cake with her cousin Brock. Of course it was chocolate...her favorite.Dalton loving spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Bellows at the party.Ashby was very cute and read all the cards before opening her presents.

Opening presents....she made quite a haul. She got her own Hello Kitty digital camera, Princess pillow and blanket set her Aunt Mariel made, Princess play sets, Princess Tea Set, Raincoat, Rain Boots, Umbrella, Cool Art stuff, Clock puzzle, Stringing heart necklace kit. She loved all her presents.At the very end of the party Ashby got to do the "wind machine". It is a little glass container you stand in and try to catch coupons as they are blowing in the wind. She caught two......and was so excited about it. It was cute. We had a great Party. Happy Birthday Ashby!
