Grammy and Poppy couldn't make it for the actual birthday party because they were closing on their beach house in Hilton Head (more fun beach adventures ahead!). They came a week early with cake in tow and lots of energy to play.
Dakota and Corban helped paint the ice cream cones for the banner.
Welcome to our ice cream parlor!
sidenote: I think we need to pressure wash the algae off of our front steps. Just saying.
I bought these cute ice cream bowls at Wal-Mart and grabbed a few paint pens for them to decorate their bowls. They served as a party favor and dish!
It had rained a little before the party so we made a decision to move it inside. I always knew our ridiculously large foyer would come in handy for something other than collecting shoes and dust. They decorated their bowls here and then headed to the kitchen to fill them with ice cream and toppings - which I failed to photograph :(. Just pretend there is a picture of ice cream with sprinkles, m&m's, marshmallows, gummy bears, whipped cream, nuts, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, Oreos, chocolate syrup, caramel, etc. :)

Dakota really wanted a pinata. They are classic and timeless. The humidity was 100% and I couldn't get any good outdoor photos.
No worries, Jacob had the black eye prior to the pinata.
Happy 6th Birthday Sweet Girl!!
This year we collected baby food for a local food pantry; a need often overlooked when people donate canned goods. Dakota's friends were so generous and the food pantry was so appreciative. In the past we have collected coats and school supplies.
Dakota started 1st Grade on her actual birthday, August 5th.
Miss Hartman made her day special with the "birthday rug" under her desk!
