A January Birthday

Lilly's birthday was a January Beach Bash!
The Crews were the only ones dressed for the occasion, as most people don't think about wearing shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops in January! But with the fireplaces going, it was a warm 75 degrees and we were very comfortable in our attire!
Rachel planned the entire party and did most of the decorating. So a big thank you to my teen age daughter!
The Jolleys may want to get their piano soon! It sure worked for us today though!
Lilly with her special friend, and almost neighbor!
Lilly and another special friend, and sometimes camping buddy!
Yeah! A friend we haven't seen in a while!
Two great cousins!
Four more cousins!!!
Lunch was great - and if I would have remembered I'd have taken some spectacular pictures of our fare!
We enjoyed tuna and cheese sandwiches, blue jello with a gummy (soggy) fish, fishy crackers, fruit kabobs and carrots served on colorful sea shell plates!
Present time!
Lilly was getting a bit wild! I'm not sure how to handle these situations, as her sister was always shy -and Lilly, well shy is not a word to describe her!
She's excited about her new horses!
She's calming down a bit!
Lilly and her big sis - the party planner and #1 hostess!
A Beach Ball cake - didn't Daddy do a great job?
Happy Birthday to Lilly!

Enjoying the gifts, and enjoying being together!

No Beach party would be complete without a Treasure Hunt!!!!
Dividing the Booty!

Ahhh! Long day, party's over!
Hey, this guy wasn't on the invite list!
