We had Anna Kate's birthday on Saturday, August 6th. We did a luau theme and had a blast! Of course, it rained and stormed all day. We made alternate plans because our luau was supposed to be an outside event. At 5:00 when the party started, the rain stopped and the weather was great! (Thank you God!) The kids were able to play in the pools and slip-n-slide and everybody had plenty of space to eat. We did hamburgers and hotdogs with a few sides and of course, cake. AK loved her smash cake. It only took her a few minutes to completely face plant in it! Here are some pictures of her special day.
That morning we were cleaning up around the house and I noticed that she had gotten very quiet. I got a little nervous because she is usually right where I am. She had gone into her bedroom, crawled into her book basket and was reading a book to herself!

For the "take away" gifts we did a candy buffet. We filled sand buckets with fruit snacks, goldfish, puffs, tootsie rolls, and M&M's. I hope everyone made them a bag before they left!
