When I thought about where to hold Jade’s fifth birthday party, I knew the perfect place for her: SkyZone. Jade loves bouncing and was very sad that we had to give away our trampoline when we moved to our condo. Every once in a while, we take her and her sisters to SkyZone to bounce […]
A Pool Party for Sunshine’s 10th Birthday!
Sunshine turned ten last month and we celebrated with a party at our local pool. After all the themed parties we’ve thrown for the past several years, we didn’t have any theme ideas this year. There haven’t been any movies like Tangled or Frozen that we’ve gone crazy about. Sunshine and her guests had fun […]
{five favourites} Vol. 24: Lily’s 6th Birthday Party
We celebrated Lily’s 6th birthday this weekend with a fairly low-key birthday party. Between going to three blogging conferences in the last month and moving into a new home, I just didn’t have the energy to plan a huge party for her.

Themed Birthday Party Ideas […]
Happy First Birthday to Jade!
Today is Jade’s first birthday, as Sunshine and Lily have been informing everyone we meet all week. They are more excited about the big day than she is (it’s just another day for her). It’s hard to believe that this time last year, we were getting ready for her birth and adjusting to a newborn […]
Happy 5th Birthday, Sunshine!
Sunshine turned five years old yesterday. We had a birthday dinner with her grandparents (who came out for that occasion and are staying to help until the baby arrives). On Saturday, she had a birthday party with several of her friends. Since Christmas, she’s been talking about what she wanted to do for her birthday […]
Seven Quick Takes for Sunshine’s 4th Birthday (Vol. 11)
Today is Sunshine’s 4th birthday. Even though she’s been talking about this for the past several months, I’m still wondering how she got so old so fast. Was it really four years ago today that I held her for the first time? That seems both so long ago and yet not so long ago. — […]
