Nolan and Quinn's Birthday Party

Nolan's basketball hoop came with a free birthday party from Rec Outlet so the kids' party was a no brainer this year.  At six and eight-years-old, I think this will be our last combined party for these two  and it was a good one!  We had twenty four kids show up to celebrate Nolan and Quinn and lots of family members.  I think they both felt very loved and had a great time running around, eating pizza and cake, and opening their gifts.

One of my biggest pet peeves is receiving a bunch of junk for every kid's birthday we know.  There are only so many erasers, bubbles, and temporary tattoos that one can stand.  I try to come up with favors that people can find useful so this year I ordered water bottles from Amazon and some name stickers from Etsy.  Everyone loved these and have told me the kids are using them.  Success!

Mairin joined in the fun too.  I'm pretty sure she spent 2 hours in the swing having a blast.

The kids got some great gifts and were very good about writing their thank you notes and getting them in the mail promptly.
