While Summer doesn't officially turn 4 until tomorrow, we had her kids' birthday party yesterday (Friday) morning. We combined celebrations with several of Summer's friends (who all have a 4th birthdays within a 3 week span of each other). This not only made the celebration more fun, but also made the planning job for us mom's much easier as we divvied up the tasks! Here is the picture from the invitation - a picture of all 5 of the girls at Summer's 1st birthday party. How fun that they have known each other since they were babies!
We held the party at Nicollet Commons Park, (a.k.a. Burnsville Splash
Pad) where there are lots of fountains, small pools, and fun areas to
splash and play in the water. Then we had snacks/cupcakes and a pinata. It was the perfect set up and a beautiful day!

 |
| Summer requested a pinata for her birthday and Daddy and she had a date to go pick it out ;) She chose a princess one! This kind of pinata you don't hit with a bat, but rather there are several strings hanging down from the pinata and one of them releases the door to let the candy out. We had the 5 birthday girls each take a few strings and pull them all at the same time to release the candy. It worked perfectly. |

| Candy!!!!! |
