Thank you Mollie Grace, for inviting us to the most relaxing birthday party ever!!!  The PondFam5 had SO much fun at your swim party\u2026 I think we spent the majority of our time in the hot tub, which was perfect!  <\/p>\n

This is a special little group of girls!  Anna Kate and Noelle are mine (of course), Mollie Grace and Maggie are my high school friend, Mark, and Meredith\u2019s little girls, and Gracie and Addy are my high school friend, Greg (Mark\u2019s brother), and his wife Stacey\u2019s little girls.  These little girls parents have pictures together as friends at this age!  It was a hard photo to get (thank you for rounding everyone up, Grandpa Tim) but having this picture is priceless! (Mark and Greg have three children too, they have little boys, and our baby Rose, were all out of pocket, lol)<\/p>\n

Rose was ready for a good time!<\/p>\n

Noelle went to the top of the slide, chickened out, came back down, gained some more courage, went up to try again, followed through with it, and LOVED it.  From there, she went down it about 50 times!<\/p>\n

Noelle and Maggie were the big girls today!  Yes, we let Noelle wear lipstick to a Saturday birthday party.  Lipstick comes off and she has fun expressing herself, which is all that matters to us.  There is a time and place for everything, and we are excited that she is having fun and feels confident enough to be different within the parameters we give her.  And baby Rose\u2026 well, she\u2019s just so happy to be here!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Anna Kate with Mollie Grace, the birthday girl!  They were really anxious to get back to playing!  Mike took Rose down the slide, and she loved it once she realized how much fun it was!<\/p>\n

Silly faces\u2026 this was the best Saturday we\u2019ve had in a really long time!!!  Thanks for inviting us to celebrate Mollie Grace and play with you guys!  Wish we all lived closer but will treasure the times we can get together, be goofy and have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
