Happy 6th Birthday Samantha!

My niece, Samantha, had her 6th Birthday party a few weekends ago. It was Luau in theme, which was quite a break from the last three years of Princess theme. I was excited about the change, if for no other reason then we didn't have to hear Disney Princesses, "Happy Birthday Princess" 543 times in one day. Seriously, even Mike knows the words. And that's just wrong.

So for our Birthday Girl, here are a few pictures.


Samantha, super excited for the party to begin.


The Birthday Girl's sister, Sydney, all decked out for the Luau.


Samantha trying out one of her new party dresses.


Nate and his Daddy playing and getting ready for the 4th of July fireworks. Little did we know the before fireworks playing would be Nate's favorite part. Nate CRIED horribly when the fireworks started, so we watched the remainder from the car. From far far away.


Samantha, her cousin Kelly, and her sister Chelsea.


This is what ultimate bliss looks like. I'm guessing she liked this gift a bit.


Samantha began ballet classes and she got a new tutu from her Grandmother.


Checking out all the loot.


The kids were extremely busy playing ladderball, trampoline, basketball, swingset, limbo, swimming, and they even played a few games with the balloons we had.


Hey you, with the camera.... knock it off!


We came, we swam, we sang, we ate cake. All in all it was a great birthday. I hope Samantha had a wonderful time. And remembers... that her Aunt Jenn had the BEST gifts and decorated and put fake tattoos on all the kids. :)

I could have told you that..... This is NATE we are talking about and Joey wasn't there to make it seem like fun. Seriously. Most kids that age scream the first time they hear the fireworks. Get used to sitting in the car for a few years.
