Happy Birthday Edy Beady!

December 4th, the day before her 8th birthday, we celebrated Eden's birthday with a party.  She had two main requests (aside from endless ideas for gifts of course) and that was 1.  A three tiered cake with horses and M&M's on it, and 2. a pinata (obviously we weren't inclined to get one before as pinata's don't normally happen in December).


She got her wishes and i think with all the wonderful friends there she had a great time.  They also played "pass the parcel" a game we played at parties in England when i was a kid. They also played Simon Says and Musical Statues.  I LOVE Musical Statues as the kids can be quite funny while dancing, especially as they catch on to the fact that it's best to dance as slooooooow as possible in order to freeze more effectively.


When i asked Eden what was her favorite part of the whole party, she simply replied, "my presents."  Well, should i have expected a deeper answer from an 8 yr old?  ;-)  Thanks to everyone that made it possible, it was a fun day for all.

 The Three Tiered M&M and Horse Cake

Yes, these are Jack's Equine and he actually kept referring to the cake as "my zebra cake."

 Musical Statues.....

 I love Mallory's Hair in this shot and that Jack looks like he's snapping his fingers like he's a Jet from West Side Story.

 Singing Happy Birthday....

 Blowing out the candle.....
