We celebrated two birthdays this weekend. It really is a double bonus to have two people in your family born on the same day...I only have to do one party! Ha!
Saturday couldn't have been more lovely for a birthday party. I took Emma G and three of her friends to get their nails painted at the local salon. I think they loved it. Then it was home to prepare. I kind of go mad throwing birthday parties, because I absolutely love celebrating someone's life. The menu was homemade pizza, a veggie tray, cake, grapes, and dark chocolate truffles (more on this later including a giveaway). I always think in the midst of all the baking and everything that I will take awesome birthday photos. The truth is that I never have time. Mark my words, next year I'm going to plan ahead and ask for help in the pre-party prep, so I'm not running around like a crazy woman!
Many thanks to our friends and family who celebrated with us and for those who recognized my craziness and pitched in to help get the food out. I still can't believe my baby is now 7. I think my other baby is now counting backward rather than forward. {Smile.} I love these two!

Happy birthday to you two! And good idea prepping earlier next year so you can enjoy it all more yourself!
Looks like a happy day and girl, for sure! And you should ask for help; it makes the day so much less stressful. And you take such lovely photos. :)
Nice pictures, fresh and charming. Happy Birthday!
Jen, that is awesome! I love the pic of Emma with her daddy! Hope you have recuperated from your busy weekend!
What a lovely idea taking the girls to the salon - I always like the idea of small parties with treats such as this. Yes, I can relate to the grand plan of taking precious awesome birthday shots.
