Stella's 7th Birthday Party, Part 3

Watts and Pawpaw enjoying their cake together...
Did I mention that we had celebrities at Stella's party?
The Hulk was kind enough to stop by and he was so polite that he didn't even smash anything...
If Stella wasn't missing teeth it would be hard to tell these two apart...

Air Watts...


He's got major hops for a 2 year old...

Stella's "birthday banner."  I know that this is not the trendy kind of birthday banner to have now but these are quick and easy to make and my kids love them and expect them now so we are gonna ride that train all the way back to the station...
Zachariah came to the party and wanted to tell Corinne all his secrets...
From their size you would probably think Z is older, but Corinne is...by 2 months...she's a little shrimpy compared to him...

"Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"
He was surprised by Corinne's bad manners.  Stop sticking out your tongue, little girl!
This seemed to be the never-ending party, partly because some of our neighborhood friends stayed late and three of our friends slept over at Stella's request.  When the majority of the guests were gone we went outside for balloon races...
Stella attached notes to every balloon so that people could let us know if they found the balloon.  They did this at school so it seemed like a great idea to her...





I love these of Mawmaw and Corinne...






When we started running out of balloons Stella talked everyone into sharing by holding the string at the same time and counting before releasing it.  She was pretty good at getting her friends and siblings to work together.  I was impressed...


Ready?
GO!

The kids had a great time playing together that night while Damon and I tried to return the house to its normal state.  I can't believe that we are already celebrating 7 years with this sweet girl.  Happy Birthday, Stella!  We love you!  If you would like to check out Stella's parties of the past, click here: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Stella's 7th Birthday Party, Part 2

Corinne was enjoying her first sibling birthday party nearby...
She turned down a smoothie in favor of her bottle...
Cake time!
We got Stella's cake from LeBlanc's this year because Molly and Aaron both had cakes from there and they were so delicious!  If you are throwing a party soon I highly recommend driving out to Prairieville.  You can order everything at the concierge desk at the front of the store and pick it up there as well.  The cakes are moist and yummy and they did a great job on the decorating, too...
The cake was themed after the invitation...
Stella got to put in her own candles...


She placed them in the shape of a 7...

One of my patented photos of Missy taking photos of my kids.  I love her...
Stella vetoed the "cha, cha, cha" at her party...
Time to bounce off all that sugar!





Jamie, Kirk, and Lori all attended Stella's party.  Kirk won the award last year for perfect party attendance.  Who will be the big winner this year?  At this point it's anybody's prize to take...
Only one more party post!
