Luckily we were able to visit the family the weekend after Sophie's 5TH Birthday- so we were able to attend the birthday party!!
The one thing that Julia suggested that I do for Sophie's birthday is paint her finger nails- here is a picture after I finished... she was so excited!!
Because James and I arrived on Friday night, we were able to help with the shopping, decorating and other necessary preparations for the party- which, to me, was really fun!
The birthday party theme was bugs and butterflies- and Sophie wore her best outfit which included wings and her own dilly bopper (I'm not sure that I'm spelling that correctly).
Sophie's friends also made dilly bopper's at the party along with their very own self-painter t-shirt. Because it was VERY hot that day (in the 90's)- Bill and Julia filled a pool for the kids to play in after their crafts.
Below are some pictures of the kids doing crafts and swimming/playing in the pool... what a blast!
Bill, Julia, James and I went out to dinner after the party- and the adults enjoyed spending time catching up! Even though the weekend was brief, we had a great time visiting with the family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE!!
